Exegesis
The verse opens with the conditional conjunction ve-oh-asiti {וְאוֹ־עָשִׂיתִי | wə-ʾō-ʿā-śî-tî} ‘and if I had done’, pairing the vav consecutive with a perfect verb to frame a hypothetical scenario.
In context — 2 Samuel 18:13
Otherwise, I would have acted falsely against my life, for not a matter would have been hidden from the king, and you would have kept your distance .
