Exegesis
The sequence ve-ahar eḥdal {וְאַחַר אֶחְדָּל | və·ʾaḥar ʾeḥdal} “and afterward I will cease” signals cessation after the vow is fulfilled. The original VSO order is rendered in English SVO to clarify the conditional and vow structure.
In context — Judges 15:7
Samson said to them, “If you act like this, surely I will take vengeance on you; and afterward, I will cease.”
