Exegesis
The fulfillment clause mirrors this pattern using vayikach {וַיִּקַּ֥ח | va-yik-kā-ḥ} ‘and He took’ with elav {אֵלָ֖יו | ʾē-lāyw} ‘to Him,’ reinforcing the call-and-response structure. Repetition of “bow” and “arrows” underscores narrative cohesion and the immediacy of obedience.
In context — 2 Kings 13:15
And Elisha said to him, “Take a bow and arrows ,” and he took a bow and arrows.
