Exegesis
The conjunctional vav in vehoshivu {וְהֹשִׁ֥יבוּ | wə-hōšîḇû} ‘and they seated’ introduces a causative Hiphil perfect that places Naboth {נָב֖וֹת | Nā-vōṯ} as the patient after the direct object marker et {אֶת־ | ’et-}.
In context — 1 Kings 21:12
They proclaimed a fast and seated Naboth at the head of the people.
