Exegesis
The Piel perfect dibber {דִּבֶּר | dîbber} ‘he spoke’ governs the infinitive limchot {לִמְחוֹת | limḥôṯ} ‘to blot out,’ establishing potential divine action.
In context — 2 Kings 14:27
And the LORD had not spoken to blot out the name of Israel from under the heavens, so He saved them by the hand of Jeroboam son of Joash.
