Exegesis

The interjection hinneh {הִנֵּה | hinnêh} ‘behold’ introduces rosho mushlakh ’elekha be-‘ad ha-chomah {רֹאשׁוֹ מֻשְׁלָךְ אֵלֶיךָ בְּעַד הַחוֹמָה | rō-šô mūš-lā-kh ’ê-lê-kā bə-‘aḏ ha-ḥō-māh} ‘his head will be thrown to you over the wall,’ preserving the vivid resolution.

In context — 2 Samuel 20:21

The matter is not so. For a man from the hill country of Ephraim, named Sheba son of Bichri, has lifted his hand against the king, against David. “Hand him over alone, and I will withdraw from the city.” The woman said to Joab, “Behold, his head will be thrown to you over the wall.”
