Exegesis
The particle et marks the direct object chazael {חֲזָאֵל | ḥa-zā-ʾēl}, and the prepositional phrases lemelekh {לְמֶלֶךְ | lə-me-lek} ‘to king’ and alaram {עַל־אֲרָם | ʿal-ʾă-rām} ‘over Aram’ establish the new office. The English order preserves Hebrew syntax and directional nuance through idiomatic punctuation.
In context — 1 Kings 19:15
And the LORD said to him, “Go, return by your way to the wilderness toward Damascus, and when you come, you shall anoint Hazael as king over Aram.”
