Exegesis
The relative clause asher shelacho melek-ashur adonav {אֲשֶׁר שְׁלָחוֹ מֶלֶךְ־אַשּׁוּר אֲדֹנָיו | ă-šer še-lā-ḥô mê-leḵ-’ă-šûr ’ă-ḏō-nāv} clarifies the Assyrian commission, while the infinitive lekharef Elohim khay {לְחָרֵף אֱלֹהִים חַי | le-ḥā-rêf ʾĕ-lō-hîm ḥay} conveys intent to blaspheme the living God.
In context — 2 Kings 19:4
Perhaps the LORD your God will hear all the words of the chief cupbearer whom the king of Assyria, his lord, has sent to reproach the living God, and He will rebuke the words that the LORD your God has heard. So you will lift up a prayer for the remnant that is found.
