Exegesis
In the relative clause asher {אֲשֶׁ֣ר | ʾă-šer} ‘whom’ plus meshacho {מְשָׁחוֹ֣ | mə-šā-ḥō} ‘he had anointed him’ modifies Jehu, and the Hiphil infinitive lehakhrit {לְהַכְרִ֖ית | lə-hak-rît} ‘to destroy’ conveys divine purpose with et-beit {אֶת־בֵּ֥ית | ʾet-bêyt} ‘the house of’ marking the target.
In context — 2 Chronicles 22:7
And the downfall of Ahaziah came from God through his going to Joram. When he arrived, he went out with Joram to Jehu son of Nimshi, whom the LORD had anointed to destroy the house of Ahab.
