Exegesis
The coordinating conjunction ve-lōʾ {וְלֹ֥א | wə-lōʾ} introduces the negative result clause with the Perfect ʿānām {עָנָֽם | ʿānām} ‘answered,’ yielding ‘He did not answer.’ This structure emphasizes the universal lack of rescue apart from YHWH’s response.
In context — 2 Samuel 22:42
They looked around for help, but there was no one who could save; they turned to the LORD , but He did not answer them.
