Exegesis
The Qal infinitive lehokot {לְהַכּ֤וֹת | lə-hakkōṯ} expresses intent “to strike,” complemented by the instrumental prepositional phrase bachanit {בַּֽחֲנִית֙ | ba-ḥănît} “with the spear.”
In context — 1 Samuel 19:10
And Saul sought to strike David with the spear against the wall, but David evaded him, and Saul drove the spear into the wall. David fled and escaped that night.
