Exegesis
Acharei mot aviv {אַחֲרֵ֛י מ֥וֹת אָבִ֖יו | ’a-ḥă-rê mōṯ ’ā-vîw} “after his father’s death” establishes temporal sequence, and the infinitive construct goal le-mashḥit lo {לְמַשְׁחִ֥ית לֽוֹ | lə-maš-ḥîṯ lô} “to bring him to destruction” indicates purpose and result. The progression from moral judgment to misguided counsel and final ruin underscores the theological theme of divine evaluation and human failure.
In context — 2 Chronicles 22:4
And he did what was evil in the eyes of the LORD , just as the house of Ahab did, because after his father’s death they became his counselors, bringing him to his ruin .
