Exegesis
The infinitive lahashot {לַהְשׁוֹת | la·ha·šô·ṯ} ‘to devastate’ governs gallim nitsim arim betsurot {גַּלִּים נִצִּים עָרִים בְּצֻרוֹת} ‘heaps of desolation’ targeting ‘fortified cities’, preserving the Hebrew’s emphatic force.
In context — 2 Kings 19:25
Have you not heard that from days of old I made it? In ancient times I formed it. Now I have brought it to pass that it has come to devastate cities into mounds of ruins.
