Exegesis
The particle al-ken {עַל־כֵּן | ʿal-kên} “therefore” introduces a result clause with matza {מָצָא | mā·ṣāʾ} “he found,” leading into the purpose infinitive lehitpalel lefanekha {לְהִתְפַּלֵּל לְפָנֶיךָ | lə·hit·pal·lêl lə·p̄ā·nê·ḵā} “to pray before You.” The structure highlights the reciprocal dynamic between divine promise and human response.
In context — 1 Chronicles 17:25
For You, my God , have revealed the ear of Your servant that You will build a house for him. Therefore, Your servant has found it in himself to pray before You.
