Exegesis
The cause clause mippənê {מִפְּנֵי | mip·pə·nê} ‘because of’ leads into ʿAkīš {עַכִּישׁ | ʿa·kīš} ‘Achish’, and the construct phrase melekh-gat {מֶלֶךְ־גַּת | me·leḵ-gat} ‘king of Gath’ situates the fear within its Philistine political context.
In context — 1 Samuel 21:12
And David laid up these words in his heart, and he feared greatly because of Achish , the king of Gath.
