Exegesis
The conjunction ki {כִּי | kî} introduces a protasis featuring the perfect qavaʿ {קָבַע | qāvaʿ} whose subject is encoded in the suffix of avi {אָבִי | ’āḇî}, and the noun ra‘ah {רָעָה | rāʿāh} expressed by the infinitive construct lavo {לָבוֹא | lābōʾ} governed by ‘aleikha {עָלֶיךָ | ‘āleḵā}.
In context — 1 Samuel 20:9
And Jonathan said, “Far be it from you! For if I knew for certain that my father had determined harm to come upon you, would I not tell you?”
