Exegesis
The interjection ḥālîlāh {חָלִילָה | ḥālîlāh} conveys vehement denial.
The imperfect jussive ʾal-yāśêm {אַל־יָשֵׂם | ʾal-yāśêm} ‘let not place’ functions as a formal plea.
In context — 1 Samuel 22:15
Today have I begun to inquire of God for him? Far be it from me! Let not the king place any matter against his servant or against the house of my father, for your servant knows nothing at all of this matter, whether small or great.
