Exegesis
Ziba’s reply begins with the interjection hinnēh {הִנֵּה֙ | hinnēh} ‘behold,’ introducing the participial clause yōšēḇ {יוֹשֵׁ֣ב | yōšēḇ} ‘sitting,’ which conveys continuous action.
In context — 2 Samuel 16:3
And the king said, “Where is your master’s son?” And Ziba said to the king, “Behold, he is staying in Jerusalem , for he said, ‘Today the house of Israel will restore to me the kingdom of my father.’”
