Exegesis
Temporal framing appears in the prepositional phrases min-hayom-lēkhet-hammelech {מִן־הַיּוֹם לֵכֶת־הַמֶּלֶךְ | min-hayom lē-kheth-ham-mé-lekh} ‘from the day of the king’s departure’ and ad-hayom-asher-ba {עַד־הַיּוֹם אֲשֶׁר־בָּא | ’aḏ-hayom ’a-šer-bā} ‘until the day he came’ plus be-shalom {בְּשָׁלוֹם | bə-šā-lōm} ‘in peace’. The paratactic negations and parallel temporal clauses convey the prolonged duration of Mephibosheth’s mourning and loyalty.
