Exegesis
The causal prepositional phrase el-haka‘as {אֶל־הַכַּעַס | ʾel-ha-ka-ʿas} ‘to the anger’ is followed by the relative marker asher {אֲשֶׁר | ʾă-šer}, leading into two coordinated Hiphil clauses: hich‘asta {הִכְעַסְתָּ | hiḵ-ʿaś-tāʾ} ‘you provoked’ and vatechatti {וַתַּחֲטִא | wa-ṯa-ḥa-ṭīʾ} ‘and you caused to sin.’
In context — 1 Kings 21:22
And I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam son of Nebat and like the house of Baasha son of Ahijah, because of the anger that you provoked and because you caused Israel to sin.
