Exegesis
The causal conjunction alken {עַל־כֵּן | ʿal-kēn} introduces the result clause yomeru hagam shaul banneviim {יֹאמְרוּ הֲגַם שָׁאוּל בַּנְּבִיאִֽם | yōʾmerû hagām šāʼûl bannəvîʾîm}, a rhetorical question reflecting communal astonishment. The English SVO order preserves the emphasis of repetition and perfect verbal forms.
In context — 1 Samuel 19:24
And he also stripped off his garments and also prophesied before Samuel; and he lay naked all that day and all that night. Therefore, they say, “Is Saul also among the prophets?”
