Exegesis
The relative clause introduced by asher {אֲשֶׁר | ʾă·šeŕ} ‘that’ governs the perfect dibarti {דִּבַּרְתִּי | di·bbā·r·tî} ‘I have spoken’ against the place (al-hamakom {עַל־הַמָּקוֹם | ʿal·ham·mā·qôm} ‘against the place’) and its inhabitants (ve-al-yoshvav {וְעַל־יֹשְׁבָ֗יו | we·ʿal·yō·šā·ḇāy} ‘and against its inhabitants’).
In context — 2 Kings 22:19
Because your heart was softened and you humbled yourself before the LORD when you heard My words about this place and its inhabitants—that they were destined for desolation and curse—and you tore your garments and wept before Me, I have heard you also, declares the LORD.
