Exegesis
The predicate kōhēn {כֹהֵן | kō-hēn} ‘priest’ in absolute state takes lədāwîḏ {לְדָוִד | lə-ḏā-wîḏ} to indicate service toward David. English word order shifts to subject-verb-predicate and places the prepositional phrase after the noun for clarity.
Root and etymology
Rootd w d

In context — 2 Samuel 20:26
