Exegesis
The interrogative hanelekh {הֲנֵלֵךְ | hă-nēlēḵ} ‘shall we go’ poses the initial query, balanced by the alternative ehdal {אֶחְדָּל | ʾeḥdāl} ‘shall I cease’ introduced by im {אִם | ʾim}.
In context — 2 Chronicles 18:5
So the king of Israel assembled the prophets—four hundred men—and asked them, “Is it right for us to go to war at Ramoth Gilead, or should I refrain?” They answered, “Go up, and God will hand it over to the king’s authority .”
