Exegesis
A negative prediction is formed by the clause ki lo tihyeh lanu peleitah {כִּי לֹא־תִהְיֶה־לָּנוּ פְּלֵיטָה | kî lō tiḥ-yêh lā-nū pel-lê-ṭā}, limiting the possibility of escape.
In context — 2 Samuel 15:14
And David said to all his servants who were with him in Jerusalem, “Arise and let us flee, for there will be no escape for us from Absalom. Hurry to depart, lest he hasten and overtake us and bring upon us the disaster and strike the city with the edge of the sword.”
