Exegesis
The conjunction kî {כִּי | kî} ‘for’ introduces a causal clause led by chashav {חָשַׁב | ḥā-šav} ‘he thought,’ which governs the noun phrase davar nô-p̄ēl lo {דָּבָר נָפֵל ל֑וֹ | dā-wār nô-p̄ēl lō} ‘an event befalling him,’ with the Piel participle nô-p̄ēl indicating resultant action.
In context — 1 Samuel 20:26
Nevertheless Saul did not speak anything that day , for he thought, “Something has happened to him; he is unclean ; surely he is unclean.”
