Exegesis
A compound relative ’ăšer-hêstāh {אֲשֶׁר־הֵסַ֥תָּה | ’ăšer-hêstāh} ‘whom incited’ introduces a causal subordinate clause with ’ôṯô {אֹת֖וֹ | ’ôṯô} ‘him’ as object and the construct pair ’Izēvel ’ištô {אִיזֶבֶ֥ל אִשְׁתּֽוֹ | ’Izēvel ’ištô} identifying the instigator.
In context — 1 Kings 21:25
Surely there was no one like Ahab, who sold himself to do evil in the eyes of the LORD , whom his wife Jezebel incited .
