וַיְהִי֙ כִּ֣י עָלִ֔ינוּ
and=he/it_was that/for/because/then/when went_back
The phrase, Then it happened introduces an important event and helps create suspense so that readers will wonder what the outcome will be. Many translations omit it happened because it is not natural in their language. Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “So after we got back home again”
