Exegesis
The sentence culminates in the prepositional phrase al-kedosh Yisrael {עַל־קְד֥וֹשׁ יִשְׂרָאֵֽל | ʿal-qəḏōš yiśrāʾēl} ‘against the Holy One of Israel,’ a climactic identification that resolves both questions and underscores that the arrogance is ultimately directed at the uniquely set-apart God bound to Israel.

In context — 2 Kings 19:22
