Exegesis
The infinitive construct lə-hō-ḇāḏā {לְהוֹבָדָה | lə·hō·ḇā·ḏā} expresses purpose (“to destroy”) with the object lə-ḥaḵ·kî·mê Bāvel {לְחַכִּימֵי בָבֶל | lə·ḥaḵ·kî·mê Bāvel} (“the wise men of Babylon”).
In context — Daniel 2:24
For this reason Daniel went in to Arioch , whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon. He went and said to him, “Do not destroy the wise men of Babylon. Bring me in before the king, and I will show the interpretation to the king.”
