Exegesis
The Hiphil infinitive lehashiv et-hamelekh el-beito {לְהָשִׁיב אֶת־הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶל־בֵּיתוֹ | lə·hā·šîb ʾēt-ha·me·lĕḵ ʾél-be·yî·tō} expresses causative return, and the coordination udvar kol-yisrael ba {וּדְבַר כָּל־יִשְׂרָאֵל בָּא | ū·ḏə·wār kôl-yi·srā·ʾēl bā} ‘and the word of all Israel has come’ provides the motive. The final repetition of el-hamelekh el-beito echoes the earlier phrase, framing the king’s house with a chiastic inclusio. English punctuation clarifies nested quotations and preserves the Hebrew clause structure.
In context — 2 Samuel 19:11
And David sent to Zadok and to Abiathar, the priests, saying, “Speak to the elders of Judah, saying, ‘Why are you the last ones to bring back the king to his house? For the word of all Israel has come to the king, to his house.’”
