Exegesis
The paired infinitive construct bĕhishā‘ênĭḵā {בְּהִשָּׁ֨עֶנְךָ֜ | bə-hi-šā-‘ê-nĭ-ḵā} and perfect niš‘ăntā {נִשְׁעַ֙נְתָּ֙ | niš-‘ă-nā-tā} highlight the contrast between misplaced trust in the king of Aram and proper reliance on YHWH ’ĕlōhêkā {יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֔יךָ | Yəhōwāh ʾĕlōhêkā}.
In context — 2 Chronicles 16:7
At that moment Hanani the seer approached Asa, king of Judah, and declared, “Because your trust was placed in the king of Aram instead of in the LORD your God , the Aramean army has escaped from your hand.”
