Exegesis
U-sheva {וּשְׁוָא | ū-šə-wā} ‘and Sheva’ links directly to sofer {סֹפֵר | sō-fēr} ‘scribe’ without an explicit copula, mirrored by ve-tsadok {וְצָד֥וֹק | wə-ṣā-ḏō-q} ‘and Zadok’ and ve-evyatar {וְאֶבְיָתָר | wə-’eb-yā-tār} ‘and Abiathar’ forming kohanim {כֹּהֲנִים | kō-hă-nīm} ‘priests.’ English supplies “was/were” or “served as” to render the implied verb, preserving the catalog-like tone of the appointment list.
In context — 2 Samuel 20:25
And Sheva was scribe , and Zadok and Abiathar were priests .
