Exegesis
The interjection vehineh {וְהִנֵּה | wə-hin-nēh} ‘and behold’ shifts focus to Kimham {כִמְהָם | kim-hă-mām} as the beneficiary of the next jussive yaavor {יַעֲבֹר | ya-ʻa-bōr} ‘let him cross over’.
In context — 2 Samuel 19:37
Let your servant please remain, that I may die in my city beside the grave of my father and my mother. And behold your servant Kimham —let him cross over with my lord the king and do for him whatever is good in your eyes.
