Exegesis
The opening conjunction ve-attah {וְעַתָּה | wə-‘a-ttāh} ‘and now’ frames an urgent shift, immediately followed by the sequential imperatives kum {קוּם | kūm} ‘arise’, tse {צֵא | ṣēʾ} ‘go out’, and ve-dabber {וְדַבֵּר | wə-ḏab-bēr} ‘speak’, structuring David’s escalating commands.

“word”
In context — 2 Samuel 19:7
And now, arise, go out, and speak to the heart of your servants, for by the LORD I have sworn. Surely if you do not go out, no man will stay with you tonight; and this will be worse for you than all the calamity that has come upon you from your youth until now.
