Popis:	The connective particle ‘al-kēn ‘therefore’ usually functions to intro-duce a logical conclusion or consequence: ‘A therefore B’. However, in cases such as 2 Sam 7:22 it functions as a speaker-oriented particle — what is mentioned in the preceding verse is the reason why the speaker makes the following statement. This usage may be compared with another speaker-oriented particle kî ‘for’, which explains the reason for the speaker's previous utterance. These two speaker-oriented particles may be explained thus: speaker-oriented kî: ‘This (B) is the reason why I said that (A)’ speaker-oriented ‘al-kēn: ‘That (A) is the reason why I say this (B)’
