Exegesis
The conjunction kî {כִּי | kî} ‘because’ introduces a causal clause led by the perfect ʿāzav {עָזַב | ʿāzav} ‘he forsook’, with the accusative particle ʾet- {אֶת־ | ʾet-} omitted in English.
In context — 2 Chronicles 21:10
And Edom rebelled from under Judah’s hand until this very day. Then Libnah also rebelled from under his rule, because he had forsaken the LORD , God of his ancestors .
