Exegesis
The verse uses a sequence of vav consecutive verbs to drive its narrative trajectory, with uva’at {וּבָאת֙ | ū-vā-ʾaṯ} ‘and you shall come’ introducing the directive and ve-dibbart {וְדִבַּרְתְּ | wə-ḏib-bār-ta} ‘and you shall speak’ specifying the action.
In context — 2 Samuel 14:3
And you shall come to the king and speak to him according to this word ; and Joab put the words in her mouth .
