Exegesis
Finally, the causal conjunction ki {כִּי | kî} connects the loss of kingship to covenant unfaithfulness, expressed by the Qal perfect shamarta {שָׁמַ֔רְתָּ | shā-mar-tā} ‘you kept’ governing the relative clause et asher-tsivkha {אֵת אֲשֶׁר־צִוְּךָ | ʾēt ʾă-šer-ṣiv-khā}, preserving Hebrew clause structure.
In context — 1 Samuel 13:14
But now your kingdom will not endure. The LORD has sought for Himself a man after His own heart , and the LORD has appointed him to be leader over His people, because you did not keep what the LORD commanded you.
