Exegesis
The direct object marker et {אֵת | ʾēṯ} precedes the construct noun kohanei {כֹּהֲנֵי | kōhă-nê} ‘priests’, which is in construct relation with the divine name YHWH {יְהוָה | yəhōwāh}, yielding ‘priests of the LORD’. Hebrew word order places the verb before its subject and object to emphasize Saul’s action against sacred officers. The English rendition adjusts to subject–verb–object order for natural flow while preserving this emphasis.
