Exegesis
The conjunction kî {כִּי | kî} ‘for/because’ introduces a causal clause leading to the Hofal perfect hā-ḥōlētî {הָחֳלֵיתִי | hā-ḥōlētî} ‘I am wounded’, with the adverb me’ōḏ {מְאֹד | me’ōḏ} ‘exceedingly’ intensifying his condition. This structure preserves the Hebrew flow and the immediacy of the king’s crisis.
Root and etymology
