Exegesis
Shimei’s continuous pursuit is expressed by the participle holekh {הֹלֵךְ֩ | hôlēḵ} and the infinitive absolute ha-lokh {הָלוֹךְ֙ | hālōḵ}, creating parallel motion.
In context — 2 Samuel 16:13
And David and his men went on the road, and Shimei was going on the side of the hill opposite him, cursing as he went and throwing stones at him and showering him with dust .
