Exegesis
The direct-object marker wəʾet {וְאֶת־ | wəʾet} precedes Reẓin {רְצִין | reẓîn}, setting up the Hiphil perfect hēmit {הֵמִית | hēmîṯ} ‘he put to death’. This rapid succession emphasizes the totality of the Assyrian campaign.
Root and etymology
“to be stubborn”
In context — 2 Kings 16:9
The king of Assyria gave heed to him; he marched on Damascus, took the city, deported its inhabitants to Kir, and put Rezin to death.
