Exegesis

The verse continues the question introduced earlier with the interrogative adverb pos {πῶς | pôs} “how,” followed by a sequence of aorist verbs—eiselthen {εἰσῆλθεν | eisēlthen} “he entered,” ephagen {ἔφαγεν | éphagen} “he ate,” and edōken {ἔδωκεν | édōken} “he gave”—to portray David’s actions in rapid succession.
