Exegesis
The clause alitiy {עָלִ֛יתִי | ’ā-lî-tî} ‘I went up’ (Qal perfect first-person singular) is followed by the prepositional phrase al-hamakom hazeh {עַל־הַמָּקוֹם הַזֶּה | ’al-hă-mā-qôm hă-zé} ‘against this place’, with the Hiphil infinitive construct lehashkhito {לְהַשְׁחִיתוֹ | lĕ-hash-khî-tô} ‘to destroy it’ expressing purpose.
In context — 2 Kings 18:25
Now, was it apart from the LORD that I went up against this place to destroy it? The LORD said to me, “Go up against this land and destroy it.”
