Exegesis
The prepositional infinitive lidrosh {לִדְרֹושׁ | lī-dṓ-rôš} “to seek” functions as an objective purpose clause, while the direct-object marker et {אֵת־ | ʾēt} introduces the compound divine object YHWH elohei avoteihem {יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי אֲבוֹתֵיהֶם | Yəhōwāh ʾĕ-lō-hê ʾa-bō-ṯê-hem}.
In context — 2 Chronicles 14:4
And he commanded Judah to seek the LORD , the God of their fathers, and to do the law and the commandment.
