To toil over him
To labor and exert oneself on his behalf; to work hard for him.
("Did King Hezekiah teach Torah to the whole world and not teach Torah to his son Manasseh?! Rather, despite all the toil he toiled over him and all the effort he exerted for him, it did not bring him to a better path—only sufferings." - Sanhedrin 104b)
