Exegesis
The verse opens with the independent pronoun hu {הוּא | hūʾ} ‘he’ followed by the Qal perfect ba {בָּא | bāʾ} ‘came’, establishing the subject and action.
In context — Judges 15:14
When he came to Lehi, the Philistines shouted as they met him. Then the Spirit of the LORD rushed mightily upon him, and the ropes on his arms became like flax burned by fire, and his bonds melted away from his hands.
