Exegesis
The conjunction ki {כִּ֥י | kî} ‘for’ introduces a causal clause: in the nominal clause ’im-mô hā-yə-ṯā yō-‘aṣ-tō {אִמּוֹ הָיְתָה יוֹעַצְתּוֹ | ’im-mô hā-yə-ṯā yō-‘aṣ-tō} ‘his mother was his counselor,’ a Hiphil participle conveys his mother’s role in providing ongoing advice.
In context — 2 Chronicles 22:3
He also followed the ways of the house of Ahab, for his mother was his counselor , steering him to act wickedly.
