Exegesis
The pronoun vehema {וְהֵמָּה | wə-hē-māh} ‘and they’ resumes reference to the Philistines for the participle shosim {שֹׁסִים | šō-sîm} ‘plundering’ of et-hagoranot {אֶת־הַגֳּרָנוֹת | ʾet-hă-gō-rā-nōṯ} ‘the threshing floors’. English translation shifts from Hebrew’s VSO order to an SVO structure, preserving the progression from report to warning to threat.
In context — 1 Samuel 23:1
They informed David, saying, “Behold , the Philistines are engaged in battle against Keilah, and they are plundering the threshing floors .”
