Exegesis
The conjunction kî {כִּי | kî} ‘because’ introduces a causal clause, with the negation lōʾ {לֹא | lōʾ} ‘not’ negating the Hiphil perfect hēkîn {הֵכִין | hē-kîn} ‘he prepared’, which conveys deliberate setting.
Root and etymology
k-w-nkaf–vav–nun

In context — 2 Chronicles 12:14
And he did evil because he did not prepare his heart to seek the LORD .
