Exegesis
The causal conjunction ki {כִּי | kî} ‘because’ frames the theological motif introduced by the perfect darashnu {דָּרַשְׁנוּ | dā-raš-nū} ‘we have sought’, repeated for emphasis, targeting YHWH Eloheinu {יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ | Yə-hō-wāh ’ĕ-lō-hê-nū} ‘the LORD our God’.
In context — 2 Chronicles 14:7
And he said to Judah, “Let us build these cities and surround them with walls, towers, gates, and bars. The land is still before us, because we have sought the LORD our God . We have sought Him, and He has given us rest on every side.” So they built and prospered .
