Exegesis
The vav-consecutives wa-ʿAmasā {וַעֲמָשָׂא | wa-ʿămāsā} ‘and Amasa’ and bā {בָּא | bā} ‘came’, and wə-Yoav {וְיוֹאָב | wə-yōʾāḇ} ‘and Joab’, together with the Pual participles ḥāgur {חָגוּר | ḥāgûr} ‘girded’ and meṣummedet {מְצוּמֶדֶת | meṣummedet} ‘fastened’, form a cumulative description of Joab’s attire.
In context — 2 Samuel 20:8
They were at the great stone which is in Gibeon when Amasa came before them. Joab was girded with his garment—his outer robe—and had a sword fastened on his loins in its sheath; and as he went out, the sword fell.
