Exegesis
The causal conjunction ki-hayu {כִּי־הָי֥וּ | kî-hā-yû} ‘because they were’ introduces the participial clause ha-anashim nikhlamim meod {הָאֲנָשִׁים֖ נִכְלָמִים֣ מְאֹד | hā-ʾănāšîm nîḵlāmîm meʾōḏ} ‘the men were humiliated very’ describing their state.
In context — 1 Chronicles 19:5
And they went and told David about the men, and he sent to meet them because the men were greatly humiliated. Then the king said, “Stay in Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return.”
