Exegesis
The first clause opens with the participle chaser {חָסֵר | ḥā-sēr} “lacking” modifying mishshagagaim {מִשְּׁגָגָיִם | miš-šā-ḡā-yim} “errors/madmen,” with ani-kamo {אָֽנִי־כָּמֹה | ʾā-nî-kā-mō} intensifying the complaint.
In context — 1 Samuel 21:15
Do I lack madmen that you have brought him to behave crazily before me? Shall he come into my house?
