Exegesis
The paired Qal imperatives qaḥ {קַ֞ח | qaḥ} ‘take’ and wə-rədōp̄ {וּרְדֹ֣ף | wə-rədōp̄} ‘pursue’ form a command series, with the warning clause introduced by the negative particle pen-maṣṣāʾ {פֶּן־מָ֥צָא | pen-maṣṣāʾ} ‘lest he find’.
In context — 2 Samuel 20:6
And David said to Abishai, “Now Sheba son of Bikhri will do us more harm than did Absalom. Take your master’s servants and pursue him, lest he find for himself fortified cities and escape our notice.”
