Exegesis
The Hiphil hekim {הֵקִים | hēqîm} ‘has incited’ with the infinitive le’orev {לְאֹרֵב | lə’ōrēḇ} ‘to lie in ambush,’ culminating in kayom hazeh {כַּיּוֹם הַזֶּה | ka-yôm hazzeh} ‘as on this day,’ underscores the immediacy of the threat.

In context — 1 Samuel 22:8
Because you have conspired against me, and no one reveals to my ear that my son has made a covenant with the son of Jesse, and none of you cares for me or alerts me that my son has set my servant against me to lie in wait today.
