Exegesis
The verb taggid {תַּגִּ֕יד | tag-gîḏ} ‘you shall tell’ takes two coordinated indirect objects le-tsadoq {לְצָד֥וֹק | lə-ṣā-dōq} and uleeveatar {וּלְאֶבְיָתָ֖ר | û-lə-’ĕ-vyā-tār}, with hakohanim {הַכֹּהֲנִֽים | ha-kō-hă-nīm} repeated for appositional emphasis. English syntax divides the long Hebrew construction into a question and conditional command for clarity, preserving the conditional ve-hayah sequence.
In context — 2 Samuel 15:35
And are not Zadok and Abiathar the priests there with you? And it shall be that every matter that you hear from the king’s house , you shall tell to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests.
