Exegesis
The final imperatives qûmî {ק֥וּמִי | qûmî} and lēḵî {לֵֽכִי | lēḵî} constitute an abrupt command sequence, which English renders with separate verbs for clarity and maintains the forceful tone of the original.
In context — 2 Samuel 13:15
And Amnon hated her with a very great hatred , for the hatred with which he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her. And Amnon said to her, “Get up, go away!”
