Exegesis
The verse employs the vav-consecutive to link narrative actions, as seen in vayilkedah {וַֽיִּלְכְּדָ֛הּ | va-yil-kə-ḏā́h} ‘and he captured it’ followed by vayittenlo {וַיִּתֶּן־ל֛וֹ | va-yit-ten-lō} ‘and he gave to him’.
In context — Joshua 15:17
And Othniel son of Kenaz, brother of Caleb, captured it; so he gave him Aksah his daughter as wife .
