Exegesis
The pivotal va-yar ha-ish {וַיַּרְא הָאִישׁ | vay-yar ha-ʾîš} ‘and the man saw’ introduces the response clause ki-amad kol-ha-am {כִּי־עָמַד כָּל־הָעָם | kî-ʿā-mad kol-hā-ʿăm} ‘that all the people stood still.’
In context — 2 Samuel 20:12
And Amasa was wallowing in blood in the middle of the roadway, and the man saw that all the people stood still; so he turned Amasa off the roadway into the field and threw a garment over him.
