Exegesis
The deadline hallaylāh {הַלַּ֔יְלָה | hallaylāh} ‘tonight’ contrasts with māḥār {מָחָ֖ר | māḥār} ‘tomorrow’, and the concluding imperfect mūmāṯ {מוּמָֽת | mūmāṯ} ‘you will be killed’ underscores the inevitability of the threat.
In context — 1 Samuel 19:11
Saul sent messengers to David’s house to keep watch and to kill him in the morning. And Michal, his wife, warned David, saying, “If you do not escape with your life tonight, tomorrow you will be slain.”
