Exegesis
The narrative is structured by two clauses introduced by the causal conjunction ki {כִּי | kî} ‘because,’ linking the Levites’ abandonment to their exclusion.
In the second clause, the Hifil perfect hiznicham {הִזְנִיחָם | hiz-nî-ḥām} denotes the active exclusion by Jeroboam and his sons, and the infinitive construct mi-kahen la-YHWH {מִכַּהֵן לַיהוָה | mi-kă-hên la-yhwh} functions as a privative purpose clause indicating deprivation of priestly service to the LORD.
In context — 2 Chronicles 11:14
The Levites abandoned their pasturelands and their possession, and they went to Judah and Jerusalem, because Jeroboam and his sons had turned them away from serving as priests for the LORD .
