Exegesis
The conjunction ki {כִּ֥י | kî} ‘because’ introduces a causal clause with qal imperfect yeruni {יֵֽרְאֻ֖נִי | yêr-ū-nî} ‘they cause me to be afraid’ and collective subject ha-am {הָעָ֑ם | hā-‘ām} ‘the people’.
In context — 2 Samuel 14:15
And now that I have come to speak to the king, my lord, about this matter because the people have made me afraid. And your maidservant said, “Let me speak, please, to the king; perhaps he will grant the petition of his maidservant.”
