Exegesis
The idiom wə-ḥiṣṣîl ʿēnênû {וְהִצִּ֥יל עֵינֵֽנוּ | wə-ḥiṣṣîl ʿēnênû} conveys ‘escape our notice’. English SVO ordering preserves readability while keeping the sequence of threat, command, and consequence.
In context — 2 Samuel 20:6
And David said to Abishai, “Now Sheba son of Bikhri will do us more harm than did Absalom. Take your master’s servants and pursue him, lest he find for himself fortified cities and escape our notice.”
