Exegesis
The Hiphil verb heshiv {הֵ֠שִׁיב | hē-šîḇ} “restored” governs a direct-object clause (et + Eilat {אֵילַת֙ | ʾê-lāṯ}) followed by its goal la-aram {לַֽאֲרָ֔ם | la-ʾă-rām}, reflecting Hebrew object–goal order for emphasis on the returned city.
In context — 2 Kings 16:6
At that time, Rezin, king of Aram, restored Eilat to Aram and expelled the Judeans from Eilat. Then the Arameans and the Edomites came to Eilat and dwelt there until this day.
