Exegesis
This is followed by the causal conjunction kî {כִּֽי־ | kî} introducing the Hiphil perfect himlāk·tî {הִמְלַ֤כְתִּי | him·laḵ·tî} ‘I made king’, with ʾet {אֶת־ | ʾet} marking Saul as object.
The negative lōʾ hē·qîm {לֹא הֵקִ֑ים | lōʾ hē·qîm} ‘did not fulfill’ highlights failed obedience to dē·ḇā·rāy {דְּבָרַ֖י | də·ḇā·rāy} ‘my words’.
