Exegesis
The noun phrase khattot Yarovʾam {חַטֹּאות יָרָבְעָם | ḥaṭ-ṭō-ṯ yā-rō-ḇə-ʿām} ‘sins of Jeroboam’ is elaborated by two relative clauses introduced by asher {אֲשֶׁר | ʾa-šer} ‘which’: first with khatā {חָטָא | ḥā-ṭāʾ} in the Qal perfect ‘he sinned’, then with heḥeṭîʾā {הֶחֱטִיא | heḥ-ḵǝ-ṭî-ʾāʾ} in the Hiphil perfect ‘he caused to sin’, highlighting both personal guilt and communal impact.
