Exegesis
The repeated direct object marker et {אֶת־ | ʾet} before hanaar {הַנַּעַר | ha-nă-‘ar} ‘the young man’ and avshalom {אַבְשָׁלֽוֹם | ’aḇ-šā-lōm} underscores definiteness, which is mirrored in English by definite articles. The order of interjection and commands preserves the Hebrew immediacy and hierarchy of speech.
