Exegesis
The purpose-infinitive lāleḵet laha‘ăvîr {לָלֶכֶת לְהַעֲבִיר | lāleḵet lə-hă‘ăvîr} ‘to go to bring over’ expresses intent to meet and facilitate the king’s crossing. The double use of ’et-hammelekh and ’et-hayarden as direct object markers precisely identifies the objects. The translation preserves Hebrew word order and purpose structure, maintaining the emphasis on coordinated movement toward the river crossing.
In context — 2 Samuel 19:15
And the king returned and came as far as the Jordan , and Judah came to Gilgal to go to meet the king and to bring him across the Jordan.
