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.
The construct chain YHWH ʼĕlōhê ’ăḇōtāw {יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי אֲבֹתָיו | yəhōwāh ʼĕlōhê ʼăḇōtāw} binds the divine name to the ancestral title, creating a theological climax that contrasts covenant unfaithfulness with political collapse.
