Exegesis
The interjection hinneh {הִנֵּה | hinnēh} ‘behold’ immediately draws attention to the subject hamelekh {הַמֶּלֶךְ | ham-méleḵ} ‘the king’, which is then described by the participle bocheh {בֹּכֶה | bō-kē} ‘is weeping’ to denote an ongoing action.
In context — 2 Samuel 19:1
And it was told to Joab that behold , the king is weeping and mourning for Absalom.
