Exegesis
The interrogative wə-lā-mah {וְלָ֤מָּה | wə-lā-mah} with ḥā-rāh {חָרָ֣ה | ḥā-rāh} forms the complaint “and why was there anger?” The Hifil infinitive construct ‘al-ha-‘ā-lō-tî introduces the action of returning the king. The double negative wə-hă-lōʾ … ’im underscores denial of personal gain, with mē-’ō-khal ’ā-khal-nû min-ha-mē-lekh preserving expense nuance, and nā-sā-ti nā-sāʾ lā-nû emphasizing that no gift was carried to them. This maintains Hebrew parallelism, interrogative force, and kinship emphasis.
In context — 2 Samuel 19:42
And all the men of Judah answered the men of Israel, “Because the king is near to us . Why are you angry about our bringing back the king? Have we eaten any of the king’s food or received anything for ourselves?”
