Exegesis
The Vav-consecutive vayitten {וַיִּתֵּן | way-yit-ten} ‘and has given’ introduces the subsequent divine action transferring the kingdom.
In context — 2 Samuel 16:8
The LORD has repaid you for all the bloodshed of the house of Saul, in whose place you reigned, and has given the kingdom into the hand of your son Absalom. And now you stand in your calamity, because you are a bloodstained man.
