Exegesis
The narrative unfolds through a series of vav-consecutive imperfect verbs—vayar {וַיַּרְא | wayyaʾr} ‘and he saw’, vayaged {וַיַּגֵּד | wayyaḡēḏ} ‘and he told’, vayyomer {וַיֹּאמֶר | wayyōʾmer} ‘and he said’—creating rapid movement.
In context — 2 Samuel 18:10
And a certain man saw and told Joab, and he said, “Behold, I saw Absalom hanging in the oak tree .”
