How much more Heb. אֲף כִּי, an expression of an a fortiori and ‘how much more so.’ It is the same throughout Scripture, like (I Sam. 23:3): “Behold we are afraid here in Judah; how much more so (אֲף כִּי) if we go to Keilah...?” Likewise, in this chapter (15:5): “Behold when it was whole, it could not be used for work; how much less (אֲף כִּי) when fire has consumed it, etc.?”
