Exegesis
The main clause uses natan {נָתַן | nāṯan} ‘he has put’ to present the action as accomplished and certain: YHWH {יְהוָה | yəhōwāh} is the explicit subject, and the direct object ruach sheqer {רוּחַ שֶׁקֶר | rûaḥ šeqer} ‘a spirit of falsehood’ forms a genitive relationship (“spirit characterized by deception”), highlighting the qualitative nature of the influence.
Root and etymology
h-y-hheh–yod–heh

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.
