Exegesis
The relative clause asher hitzilu {אֲשֶׁר־הִצִּ֥ילוּ | ʾǎ-šer hiṭ-ṣî-lû} ‘that have delivered’ employs a Hiphil perfect to denote completed past acts of rescue of artzam {אַרְצָ֖ם | ʾăr-ṣām} ‘their land’ from miyadi {מִיָּדִ֑י | mî-yā-dî} ‘from my hand’.
In translation, the direct object marker et {אֶת | ʾet} is omitted, and the relative clause structure is adapted to English SVO order to preserve rhetorical force.
In context — 2 Kings 18:35
Who of all the gods of these lands has delivered his land from my hand, that the LORD should deliver Jerusalem from my hand?
