I learned that there were two way:hiy's, one (followed by k- or b-)
which introduced a temporal clause, as in 1 Sam 8:2, and the other
just serving as the wayyiqtol form of hayah, and so meaning "became".
On this basis, perhaps the meaning is that Samuel's sons were given
these names only when they were appointed as judges. Or can this
second way:hiy mean simply "was"?
