Exegesis
The verse presents an asyndetic enumeration of a single individual with two name forms, chatzro/chetsrai {חצרו חֶצְרַי֙ | ḥa-ṣə-rō ḥe-tsə-rây} followed by his epithet hakarmeli {הַֽכַּרְמְלִ֔י | ha-ḵar-me-lî}, and then a second individual pa‘arai {פַּעֲרַ֖י | pā-ʿă-rāy} with haarbi {הָאַרְבִּֽי | hā-ʾar-bî}. The absence of the conjunction vav yields a terse listing. The formal translation mirrors this with comma separation and no “and,” while the dynamic adds “and” for clarity and uses a parenthetical variant name to reflect the Hebrew sequence.
In context — 2 Samuel 23:35
