Exegesis
The interrogative haʾattāh {הַאַתָּה | haʾattāh} ‘are you’ precedes the name yôʾāḇ {יוֹאָב | yôʾāḇ}, illustrating Hebrew fronting for identification emphasis.
In context — 2 Samuel 20:17
And he approached her, and the woman said, “Are you Joab?” And he said, “I am.” Then she said to him, “Listen to the words of your servant.” And he said, “I am listening.”
