Exegesis
The causal conjunction ki {כִּי | kî} ‘because’ links this plight to the city’s isolation expressed in rehoqah-hi {רְֽחוֹקָה־הִ֣יא | rə-ḥō-qāh-hî} ‘it was distant’ from Sidon.
In context — Judges 18:28
There was no rescuer , because it was far from Sidon and they had no business with any man. It was in the valley near Beth Rehob. Afterward they rebuilt the city and lived there.
