Exegesis
In the second clause the vav consecutive governs the niphal imperfect vayyiqhalûhû {וַיִּקְהֲלוּהוּ | vay-yi-qah-ha-lû-hû} ‘and they were gathered to him,’ followed by the qal imperfect vayyāvōʼû {וַיָּבֹאוּ | vay-yā-ḇō-ʼû} ‘and they came.’
In context — 2 Samuel 20:14
And he passed through all the tribes of Israel to Abel and to Beth Maakah, and all the Bikrites were gathered to him, and they came after him.
