Exegesis
The relative clause asher shafakh {אֲשֶׁר שָׁפָךְ | ʾă-šer šā-phaḵ} ‘which he shed’ links the subject to its action, followed by vayemalle et yerushalayim dām nā-qî {וַיְמַלֵּא אֶת־יְרוּשָׁלַ͏ִם דָּ֣ם נָקִ֑י | way-me-lêʾ ʾet yĕ-rû-šā-lā-yim dām nā-qî} ‘and he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood’, where the direct object marker et intensifies the effect.
In context — 2 Kings 24:4
And also the blood of the innocent which he shed, and he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood; and the LORD was not willing to forgive.
