Exegesis
The prepositional construct kidvar avdecha {כִּדְבַ֥ר עַבְדְּךָ֖ | kî-ḏbar ʿaḇ-də-ḵā} ‘according to the word of your servant’ attributes the prediction’s source, and the adverb ken {כֵּ֥ן | kên} ‘thus’ followed by the verb hayah {הָיָֽה | hā-yāh} ‘it was’ constitutes a result clause confirming its realization. This structure underscores the certainty and immediacy of the report delivered to the king.
In context — 2 Samuel 13:35
And Jonadab said to the king, “Behold , the king’s sons have come, according to the word of your servant , so it has happened.”
