Those are two separate things.
The verb form of poison encompasses the latter. From Merriam-Webster:
1 a : to injure or kill with poison;
b : to treat, taint, or impregnate with or as if with poison
Curiously, M-W defines envenom as:
1 : to make poisonous
The freedictionary.com defines envenom as:
- to fill or impregnate with venom; make poisonous

I'm confused by your use of "curiously". M-W and freedictionary are defining the word the same way (also how Oxford defines it). To envenom something is to make it poisonous (an envenomed object would poison someone if they ingested it or were stabbed by it, e.g.). "Envenomate", as Roger suggests, means to directly poison the person/animal in question using venom, often by biting or stinging.

@MichaelS usually you ingest poison and are stabbed by venom - you say that "an envenomed object would poison someone if they ingested it or were stabbed by it" - at least in my experience, you could stab someone with an envenomed object, but you would only ingest something that is poisoned.
