Exegesis
The conditional im {אִם־ | ’im} + qal imperfect tukhal {תּוּכַל | tû-kal} and infinitive construct latet {לָתֵת | lā-têṯ} frames the protasis-apodosis with rokhvim {רֹכְבִים | rō-ḵə-ḇîm} governed by aleihem {עֲלֵיהֶֽם | ʿă-lê-hēm}, maintaining rhetorical force in English translation.
In context — 2 Kings 18:23
And now, please make a wager with my master, the king of Assyria, and I will give you two thousand horses if you are able to provide riders for them.
