Exegesis
The negative construction ve-lo-šāḇ {וְלֹֽא־שָׁ֣ב | ve-lo-šāḇ} ‘and he did not return’ emphasizes the refusal to reverse direction, followed by the specifying relative clause ba-dereḵ ašer ba-h {בַּדֶּ֔רֶךְ אֲשֶׁ֛ר בָּ֥א בָ֖הּ | ba-de-reḵ a-šer ba ba-h} ‘by the way which he came in it.’
In context — 1 Kings 13:10
And he went on another way , and he did not return by the way which he had come to Bethel .
