Exegesis
The direct object marker ve-’ēṯ {וְאֵ֗ת | wə-ʾēt} signals the definite object cherev Golyat ha-plishti {חֶרֶב גָּלְיָ֥ת הַפְּלִשְׁתִּ֖י | ḥereḇ gālyāṯ happəlīštî} ‘the sword of Goliath the Philistine’, a construct chain that links the weapon to its famous owner. English renderings separate the actions with conjunctions to reflect sequential events while preserving the Hebrew narrative flow.
In context — 1 Samuel 22:10
And he inquired of the LORD on his behalf, gave him provisions , and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine.
