[David Kolinsky <yishalom AT sbcglobal.net>]

The preposition ?eT meaning "with" comes from the verb ?aTaH meaning "to come 
/  
approach" 
(Is21:12;41:5;56:9,12)(Jr3:22)(Ps68:32)(Pr1:27)(Jb16:22;30:14;37:22). 

Which is very unlike the word ?aTaH meaning "you" that was originally ?aNTaH 
(similar to in Arabic), which itself comes from the same ?aNa which means "I" 
which in Hebrew is ?aNY.  (The word ?aNoKhY is from an entirely different 
root).

Perhaps. More likely, David is using rhetorical flourish here to create a 
snowballing effect: one after the other, as though both the lion and the bear 
practically formed a single menace.
