Exegesis
The Hiphil infinitive construct la’avir {לַעֲבִיר | la-ʿă-vîr} ‘to cause to cross over’ introduces a purpose clause with et + beit hamelekh {אֶת־בֵּית הַמֶּלֶךְ | ʾet-bêyt hā-me-leḵ} ‘the king’s household’ as its object.
In context — 2 Samuel 19:18
And a ferry went over to bring over the king’s household and to do what was good in his eyes . And Shimei son of Gera fell before the king as he crossed the Jordan.
