Exegesis
The prepositional phrase mitokh ha-am {מִתּ֣וֹךְ הָעָ֑ם | mit-tôḵ hā-‛ām} ‘from the midst of the people’ specifies origin, and the vav-consecutive va-etenkha {וָאֶתֶּנְךָ֣ | wā-ʾet-te-n-ḵā} ‘and I gave you’ introduces the grant of authority, encapsulated by nagid {נָגִ֔יד | nā-ḡîḏ} ‘leader’ and the possession phrase al ammi Yisrael {עַ֖ל עַמִּ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל | ʿal ‛am-mî yiś-rā-ʾēl} ‘over My people Israel.’ English syntax preserves the Hebrew oracular sequence and causal nuance.
In context — 1 Kings 14:7
Go, say to Jeroboam, “Thus says the LORD , the God of Israel : ‘Because I raised you up from among the people and made you leader over My people Israel.’”
