Exegesis
The marker ʼet-ʾōyvî {אֶת־אֹיְבִ֖י | ʼet-ʾōyvî} flags “my enemy” as object, which then piel-wise wayyimmāleṭ {וַיִּמָּלֵ֑ט | wayyimmāleṭ} foregrounds the enemy’s escape.
In context — 1 Samuel 19:17
And Saul said to Michal, “Why have you deceived me like this and sent away my enemy , so that he has escaped?” And Michal said to Saul, “He said to me, ‘Let me go. Why should I kill you?’”
