Morphological NotesVerb, Qal stem, wayyiqtol (waw-consecutive imperfect), 3rd person masculine singular; narrative past sequence form.
Rendering RationaleThe Qal wayyiqtol 3rd masculine singular form denotes a simple active past action in narrative sequence, hence "and he." "Rendered judgment" preserves the core judicial sense of שׁפט while allowing for its broader connotations of governing and administering justice.
