Exegesis
The infinitive construct lirot {לִרְאוֹת | li-rə-ʾôt} again marks purpose ‘to see’, and the closing causal clause ki-choleh {כִּי־חֹלֶה | kî-ḥō-lē} ‘because he was sick’ preserves the Hebrew conjunction–participle structure.
In context — 2 Chronicles 22:6
So Joram returned to Jezreel to be healed, because he had been wounded at Ramah when he fought Hazael king of Aram. Then Azariah —that is, Ahaziah—son of Jehoram king of Judah, went down to see Jehoram son of Ahab in Jezreel because he was ill.
