Exegesis
The initial adverbial kakeithen {κἀκεῖθεν | kakeîthen} ‘and from there’ provides a transitional link to the preceding narrative section, signaling movement in the storyline rather than introducing a new topic.
In context — Acts 13:21
And from there they requested a king, and God gave them Saul the son of Kish, a man from the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years .
