Exegesis
David {דָּוִד | Dā-wîd} appears in absolute form, followed by va’anashav {וַאֲנָשָׁיו | wa-ʾănā-šāw} ‘and his men,’ which fuses the conjunction vav with “men” plus a singular possessive suffix. The paratactic sequence of two vav-prefixed verbs and pronominal suffixes, framing David’s name, emphasizes the swift transfer of the Philistines’ cult objects into his band’s custody, reflecting the Deuteronomistic theme of overturning foreign worship.
Root and etymology
