Exegesis
The imperative shema‛uni {שְׁמָעוּנִי | šə-mā‛ū-nî} ‘listen to me’ conveys urgency, while the Hiphil imperative ve-hashivu {וְהָשִׁיבוּ | wə-hā-šî-wû} ‘and return’ enforces decisive action.
In context — 2 Chronicles 28:11
And now, listen to me, and send back the captives whom you captured from your brothers, for the burning anger of the LORD is upon you.
