Exegesis
The second clause shifts to David’s response with vayitabel {וַיִּתְאַבֵּ֥ל | way-yit-ta-bel} ‘and he mourned’ (Hitpael imperfect), a reflexive stem denoting ongoing lament, governed by al-beno {עַל־בְּנ֖וֹ | ʿal-be-no} ‘over his son’ and modified by kol-hayamim {כָּל־הַיָּמִֽים | kol-ha-ya-mim} ‘all the days’, which marks duration. In English the narrative retains the Hebrew flow with conjunctions for vav-consecutives and renders perfect/imperfect verbal aspects in the simple past to preserve sequential storytelling.
Root and etymology
