Exegesis
The infinitival complement lehashliakh {לְהַשְׁלִיחַ | lə-haš-lî-aḥ} ‘to send’ functions as the purpose/content of what YHWH began to do; in this context “send” carries an adversarial sense, clarified by the following prepositional phrase biyehudah {בִּיהוּדָה | bi-yə-hû-dāh}, where bet marks hostile direction (“against Judah”) rather than mere location.
In context — 2 Kings 15:37
In those days the LORD began to send against Judah Rezin, king of Aram, and Pekah, son of Remaliah.
