("To his anointed, to Cyrus")

Does anyone know any comparable examples where the same person is referred to twice in a row, both using back-to-back prepositional lamed?

I did a quick syntactic search in the Andersen-Forbes Phrase Marker Analysis of the Hebrew Bible in Logos, and it gave me the following "hits". I haven't checked them all, but I scanned most, and in general they seem to fit with your example. (Some might be rather different - like those from Numbers, Joshua and Judges - but I've included all the hits anyway.)
