Exegesis
The narrative employs a vav-consecutive sequence, linking the king’s movements in vayashav {וַיָּשָׁב | wayyāšāḇ} ‘and he returned’ and vayavo {וַיָּבֹא | wayyāḇōʼ} ‘and he came,’ establishing continuous progression toward the boundary at ad-hayarden {עַד־הַיַּרְדֵּן | ʻad-hayarden} ‘until the Jordan.’
The subject then shifts to wiyhudah ba’ah {וִיהוּדָה בָּאָה | wəYehūdāh bā’āh} ‘and Judah came,’ where the feminine singular verb marks collective action.
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.
