Exegesis
The numeral–unit phrase limeat hakkikar {לִמְאַת הַכִּכָּר | limᵊʾāt ha-kikkār} ‘a hundred talents’ links the cardinal numeral with its measure noun, while the relative clause asher natati {אֲשֶׁר נָתַתִּי | ʾăšer nāṭattî} ‘that I have given’ specifies the object.
In context — 2 Chronicles 25:9
And Amaziah said to the man of God, “But what should be done for the hundred talents that I gave to the army of Israel?” The man of God answered, “The LORD is able to give you much more than this.”
