Exegesis
Spatial expressions merom ha-rim yarketei levanon {מְר֥וֹם הָרִ֖ים יַרְכְּתֵ֣י לְבָנ֑וֹן} combine absolute and construct forms to map his advance. Possessive suffixes in rikhbi and arazav underscore personal ownership, while the final melon kitzo ya’ar karmilo stack conveys total intrusion into the land.
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 .”
