Exegesis
The direct object kol ha’am {כָל־הָעָם | kol hā-‘ām} ‘all the people’ is followed by the directional prepositional phrase eilekha {אֵלֶיךָ | ʾê-lê-ḵā} ‘to you’.
The result clause kol ha’am yihyeh shalom {כָל־הָעָם יִהְיֶה שָׁלוֹם | kol hā-‘ām yiḥ-yêh šā-lôm} ‘all the people will be at peace’ uses the qal imperfect yihyeh to mark the outcome, with shalom conveying comprehensive well-being. The V–O–S base order and the embedded conditional highlight that communal peace is contingent upon the return of the specified individual.
In context — 2 Samuel 17:3
And I will bring back all the people to you; when the man whom you seek returns , all the people will be at peace .
