Exegesis

The subsequent Piel perfect vayyiphtar {וַיִּפְטַר֙ | wayyip̄ṭār} “and he escaped” shifts focus to David’s evasion, introduced by the preposition mippenei {מִפְּנֵ֣י | mippənê} “from before.”

In context1 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.
