Exegesis
The relative clause asher heshibo {אֲשֶׁ֥ר הֱשִׁיבֽוֹ | ʾăšer hĕšîbô} ‘who had caused him to return’ employs the Hiphil perfect to convey causation. English reconstruction mirrors this event-driven sequence, preserving Hebrew word order and verbal nuances while rendering the narrative with clarity and flow.
In context — 1 Kings 13:20
