Exegesis
Two objects are introduced: retzin melech aram {רְצִין מֶלֶךְ אֲרָם | rə-ṣîn me-leḵ ʾă-rām} identifies the first leader with his title and realm, and ve’et {וְאֵת | wə-ʾēt} adds a second coordinated object, pekakh ben-remalyahu {פֶּקַח בֶּן־רְמַלְיָהוּ | pe-qaḥ ben-rə-mal-yā-hû}, using a patronymic to distinguish him. The coordination presents the two rulers as a paired threat, while the clause structure attributes the rise of that threat to YHWH’s initiating action.
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.
