Exegesis
The sequence of the imperative kumu {קוּמוּ | kū-mū} ‘arise’ and the Niphal cohortative venivrachah {וְנִבְרָחָה | wə-nib-rā-ḥā} ‘let us flee’ escalates urgency through collective action.
In context — 2 Samuel 15:14
And David said to all his servants who were with him in Jerusalem, “Arise and let us flee, for there will be no escape for us from Absalom. Hurry to depart, lest he hasten and overtake us and bring upon us the disaster and strike the city with the edge of the sword.”
