Exegesis
The destination phrase bêṯ YHWH {בֵּית יְהוָה | bêṯ YHWH} identifies the sacred locus affected, while mipnê {מִפְּנֵי | mipnê} ‘because of’ introduces the political cause, tying the rerouting to pressure associated with the Assyrian king. The translation “diverted/rerouted … away from the house” reflects the verb’s turning-aside sense and the absence of an explicit preposition, which allows the idea of redirecting traffic or access in relation to the temple precincts.
In context — 2 Kings 16:18
And the Sabbath covered way that they had built in the house, and the king’s outer entrance, he diverted from the house of the LORD because of the king of Assyria.
