Exegesis
The participial form labon {λαβὼν | labṓn} ‘having taken’ precedes its object gynaika {γυναῖκα | gynaí-ka} ‘a wife’, forming a circumstantial participial clause that is temporally prior to the main verb apethanen {ἀπέθανεν | apé-tha-nen} ‘he died’.
In context — Luke 20:29
There were therefore seven brothers. The first , having taken a wife, died childless .
