Exegesis
The Hebrew narrative employs a vav-consecutive chain with vayomer {וַיֹּאמֶר | wa-yō-mer} ‘and he said’, introducing Joab’s speech, followed by the imperatives lekh {לֵךְ | lēḵ} ‘go’ and haged {הַגֵּד | ha-gēd} ‘tell’, which direct the Cushite’s task.
In context — 2 Samuel 18:21
And Joab said to the Cushite, “Go, tell the king what you have seen.” And the Cushite bowed down to Joab and ran.
