Exegesis
The relative clause ʾăšer-bāʾ {אֲשֶׁר־בָּא | ʾăšer-bāʾ} ‘who came’ identifies hanavi, and miššōmrōn {מִשֹּׁמְרוֹן | miššōmrōn} ‘from Samaria’ specifies origin. The progression from prohibition to affirmative action underscores the cultural imperative to protect burial remains.
In context — 2 Kings 23:18
And he said, “Let him be; let no one disturb his bones .” So they spared his bones, along with those of the prophet who came from Samaria.
