Exegesis
The interrogative lamah {לָ֣מָּה | lā·mmāh} ‘why’ introduces the rhetorical question yakukha {יַכּ֑וּךָ | ya·kū·ḵā} ‘should they strike you.’
In context — 2 Chronicles 25:16
And it happened, as he was speaking to him, that the king said, “Have we appointed you as counselor to the king? Cease for yourself; why should they strike you?” Then the prophet stopped and said, “I know that God has determined to destroy you, because you have done this and have not listened to my counsel .”
