Exegesis
The noun phrase hayorim {הַיֹּרִים | hayyōrîm} ‘the archers’ employs the definite article for specificity, and the prepositional phrase la-melekh {לַמֶּלֶךְ | la-mēleḵ} ‘to the king’ indicates the direct object.
In context — 2 Chronicles 35:23
And the archers shot King Josiah, and the king said to his servants, “Carry me away, for I am severely wounded .”
