Exegesis
The passage employs a sequence of vav consecutives—vayavo {וְיָבֹא | wə-yā-ḇōʾ} ‘and he will come’, veyishpokh {וְיִשְׁפֹּךְ | wə-yiš-pōḵ} ‘and he will pour out’, velakhad {וְלָכַד | wə-lā-ḵaḏ} ‘and he will capture’—to portray the northern king’s systematic assault.
In context — Daniel 11:15
The king of the north will come, pour out a siege ramp, and capture a fortified city, and the forces of the south will not stand, and even its choicest troops will have no strength to stand.
