Exegesis
The second vav consecutive in veshevita {וְשָׁבִיתָ | wə-šā-ḇī-ṯā} ‘and you take captive’ continues the result sequence, and shivyo {שִׁבְיוֹ | šib-yô} ‘his captivity’ functions as the object in construct form. The parallel vav-consecutive clauses frame a theology of divine initiative followed by human response.
In context — Deuteronomy 21:10
When you go out to war against your enemies and the LORD your God gives them into your hand , and you capture their captives.
