Exegesis
The verse begins with the construct phrase beyad mal’akhekha {בְּיַ֣ד מַלְאָכֶיךָ֮ | bə-yaḏ mal’āḵê-kha} indicating agency “by the hand of your messengers.”
In context — 2 Kings 19:23
By the hand of your messengers you have reproached the Lord , and you have said, “With the abundance of my chariots I have ascended to the heights of the mountains and the farthest parts of Lebanon. I will cut down the height of its cedars, the choicest of its cypresses; and I will enter the lodge at its outermost border, the forest of its fruitful place .”
