Exegesis

The conjunction ve-hashmuʿah {וְהַשְּׁמֻעָה | wə-šə-mû-ʿāh} ‘and the report’ is matched by the feminine perfect baʾah {בָּאָה | bāʾā} ‘came’, agreeing in gender.

In context2 Samuel 13:30

And it happened, as they were on the way, that the report came to David, saying, “Absalom has struck down all the king’s sons, and not one of them remains.”
