Exegesis
The phrase ûle’avšālôm {וּלְאַבְשָׁלוֹם | ûleʾaḇšālôm} ‘and to Absalom’ with the construct ben-dāwîd {בֶּן־דָּוִד | ben-dāwîd} ‘son of David’ highlights royal lineage.
The action clause opens with wayyeʾhāvēhā {וַיֶּאֱהָבֶהָ | wayyeʾhāvēhā} ‘and he loved her’, focusing on ’amnôn {אַמְנוֹן | ʾamnôn} and his lineage ben-dāwîd {בֶּן־דָּוִד | ben-dāwîd}. The chain of vav-consecutive clauses and construct phrases produces a fluid narrative that underscores familial bonds and the pivotal moment of emotional desire.
