Exegesis
The verb vaysittehu {וַיְסִיתֵ֕הוּ | wayyəssittehû} ‘and he incited him’ is a Hifil imperfect with a suffix, followed by the infinitive laalot {לַעֲל֖וֹת | laʿălôt} ‘to go up’, indicating purpose toward Ramot Gil‘ād {רָמ֥וֹת גִּלְעָֽד | rāmôt Gilʿād}. The sequence underscores a narrative flow from hospitality to persuasion.
In context — 2 Chronicles 18:2
After some years he went down to Ahab in Samaria, and Ahab slaughtered sheep and cattle in abundance for him and the people with him; then he induced him to go up to Ramoth Gilead .
