Exegesis
The conjunction ki {כִּ֥י | kî} marks the subordinate clause describing the previous perfect action halakh {הָלַךְ | hālaḵ}, in which yonatan {יוֹנָתָֽן | yônāṯān} functions as the subject. This structure emphasizes the contrast between Ahijah’s visible priestly role and the people’s ignorance of Jonathan’s departure.
