Exegesis
The first causal conjunction kî {כִּי | kî} introduces the source clause mê-YHWH hî {מֵיְהוָה הִיא | mê-Yə-hō-wāh hî} ‘this was from the LORD’, where min marks origin and hî resumes reference.
In context — Judges 14:4
But his father and his mother did not know that it was from the LORD , for He was seeking an occasion against the Philistines; and at that time the Philistines were ruling over Israel.
