Exegesis
A second coordinated clause begins with vayYHWH {וַיהוָה | way-yəhōwāh} ‘and the LORD’, restating the divine subject for emphasis; dibber {דִּבֶּר | dibber} ‘He has spoken’ with ʿalekha {עָלֶיךָ | ʿālêkā} ‘against you’ frames the result as a judicial pronouncement directed at the king.
In context — 2 Chronicles 18:22
And now, behold, the LORD has put a spirit of falsehood in the mouth of these your prophets, and the LORD has spoken disaster against you.
