Exegesis
Finally, the Hiphil infinitive construct hashiv {הָשִׁ֥יב | hā-šî-ḇ} ‘cause to return’ paired with the Niphal participle et-nidcho {אֶת־נִדְּחֽוֹ | ʾet-nid-dā-ḥō} ‘his banished one’ forms a purpose clause introduced by levilti {לְבִלְתִּ֛י | lə-ḇil-tī} ‘in order that not’, explaining the reason for the king’s fault.
