Exegesis
The infinitive construct lə-har-šî-‘aʿ {לְהַרְשִֽׁיעַ | lə-har-šî-‘aʿ} ‘to make him act wickedly’ functions purposively, specifying the intended result of her counsel. English translates this with a participial clause (“steering him to act wickedly”) to preserve the verse’s purposive emphasis and Hebrew word order.
In context — 2 Chronicles 22:3
He also followed the ways of the house of Ahab, for his mother was his counselor , steering him to act wickedly.
