Exegesis
The narrative uses a sequence of vav-consecutive verbs to drive action: vatagesh {וַתַּגֵּשׁ | wa-ta-ggēš} ‘and she brought near’, vayachazek-bah {וַיַּֽחֲזֶק-בָּהּ | wa-ya-ḥa-zek bá-h} ‘and he seized her’, and wa-yō-mer {וַיֹּאמֶר | wa-yō-mer} ‘and he said’, each expanding the imperfective storyline.
In context — 2 Samuel 13:11
And she brought it near to him to eat, but he seized her and said to her, “Come, lie down with me, my sister .”
