Exegesis
The prepositional phrases la-YHWH {לַיהוָה | laYHWH} and bechebron {בְּחֶבְרוֹן | bəḥeḇrôn} indicate the vow’s recipient and location. English rendering preserves Hebrew word order in the sequence of request and vow fulfillment while adapting temporal phrasing for clarity.
In context — 2 Samuel 15:7
And it was at the end of four years that Absalom said to the king, “Please let me go and pay my vow which I vowed to the LORD in Hebron.”
