Exegesis
The clause yakšîləkhā hāʾĕlōhîm {יַכְשִׁילְךָ הָאֱלֹהִים | yakšîləkhā hāʾĕlōhîm} asserts divine agency in the outcome through the causative verb ‘cause to stumble,’ with lifnê ʾôyēv {לִפְנֵי אוֹיֵב | lifnê ʾôyēv} ‘before an enemy’ marking the public setting of defeat.
In context — 2 Chronicles 25:8
But if you go, act; be strong for the battle . God will cause you to stumble before the enemy, for there is power in God to help and to cause to stumble.
