Exegesis
The coordinated objects al-ye-ho-VAH ha-e-lo-HIM {עַל־יְהוָ֖ה הָאֱלֹהִ֑ים | ʿal Yəhōwāh hā-ʾĕ-lō-hîm} and ve-al ye-chiz-ki-YA-hu av-DO {וְעַ֖ל יְחִזְקִיָּ֥הוּ עַבְדּֽוֹ | wə-ʿal yə-ḥîz-qî-yā-hû ʿaḇ-ḏō} 'against the LORD God' and 'against Hezekiah his servant' emphasize parallel opposition. The repetition of al ('against') heightens the adversarial tone.
In context — 2 Chronicles 32:16
And still, his servants spoke against the LORD God and against Hezekiah his servant.
