Exegesis
The Hiphil imperative vhashivuhu {וַהֲשִׁיבֻהוּ | wayhašîḇûhû} ‘return him’ is followed by coordinated prepositional phrases el amon {אֶל־אָמֹן | ʾel ʾāmōn} and we'el yoash ben hamelek {וְאֶל־יוֹאָשׁ בֶּן־הַמֶּלֶךְ | wəʾel yōʾāš ben hamelek}, forming a construct chain that delineates dual custody and underscores the king’s authoritative decree.
