Exegesis
The direct object marker ʾēt {אֵת | ʾēt} introduces kol-dib-rê ha-sē-per {כָּל־דִּבְרֵי הַסֵּפֶר | kol-dib-rê ha-sē-per} ‘all the words of the book’, further defined by the relative clause ʾa-šer qā-rāʾ me-lekh Yə-hū-dāh {אֲשֶׁר קָרָא מֶלֶךְ יְהוּדָה | ʾa-šer qā-rāʾ me-lekh Yə-hū-dāh} ‘that the king of Judah has read’. This structure foregrounds divine initiative and ensures the prophecy’s fulfillment.
In context — 2 Kings 22:16
Thus says the LORD : “See, I will bring disaster on this place and on its inhabitants, in accordance with all the words of the book that the king of Judah has read.”
