Exegesis
The adversative wə-ʿattāh {וְעַתָּ֥ה | wə·ʿatt·āh} ‘and now’ signals contrast, and the clause bāraḥ min-hā-ʾāreṣ mē·ʿal Avshalom {בָּרַ֛ח מִן־הָאָ֥רֶץ מֵעַל־אָבְשָׁלֽוֹם | bā·raḥ min hā·ʾā·reṣ mē·ʿal ʾav·šā·lôm} ‘he has fled from the land because of Absalom’ presents the crisis. The English rendering retains Hebrew thematic repetition and construct order while smoothing idioms.
In context — 2 Samuel 19:9
And it happened that all the people were disputing throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, “The king delivered us from the hand of our enemies, and he rescued us from the hand of the Philistines. But now he has fled from the land because of Absalom .”
