Exegesis
The Piel infinitive construct le-hashiv {לְהָשִׁיב | lə-hā-šîḇ} expresses purpose, governed by the accusative marker et-ha-melekh {אֶת־הַמֶּלֶךְ | ʾet-ham-me-leḵ}, defining the action’s object. English adopts an SVO order to preserve emphasis and temporal aspect while clarifying the interrogative sequence.
In context — 2 Samuel 19:10
And Absalom , whom we anointed over us, is dead in battle, and now why are you silent about bringing back the king ?
