Exegesis
The narrative employs a chain of vav-consecutive verbs—vayipol {וַיִּפֹּל֩ | wayyippōl} ‘and he fell’, vayishtachu {וַיִּשְׁתַּ֖חוּ | wayyištaḥû} ‘and he bowed down’, and vayevarekh {וַיְבָ֣רֶךְ | wayyəḇāreḵ} ‘and he blessed’—to convey immediate sequential action.
In context — 2 Samuel 14:22
And Joab fell on his face to the ground and bowed down, and he blessed the king. Then Joab said, “Today your servant knows that I have found favor in your eyes, my lord the king , because the king has fulfilled the word of his servant.”
