Exegesis
The causal conjunction kī {כִּי | kī} introduces the perfect ḥārāh lō {חָרָה לוֹ | ḥā·rāh lō} ‘burned to him’, presenting divine anger as the motive for the upheaval. English isolates cause and effect to preserve Hebrew parallelism and rhetorical force.
Root and etymology
ḥ-r-hchet–resh–heh
“to burn, be enraged”
In context — 2 Samuel 22:8
The earth quaked and shook; the foundations of the heavens trembled and quaked, because He was angry.
