KAI EGENETO META TO APOQANEIN SAOUL KAI DAUID
ANESTREYE TUPTWN TON AMALHK KAI EKAQISE DAUID EN
SIKELAG hHMERAS DUO

2 questions on this.

First, why is TUPTWN a Present participle? Had it been
placed before ANESTREYE would that of mattered? I
would have expected an Aorist participle to express
the idea that AFTER striking Amalek, he returned. My
interlinear has "David returned from striking Amalek."
This idea of "from" is a new one for me.

Second, there seems to be a lot of KAI's used in the
LXX where they don't seem overly needed. Is this
trying to capture something in the underlying Hebrew?
