Exegesis
The hiphil infinitive lehashiv {לְהָשִׁיב | lə-hā-šîḇ} ‘to bring back’ links causative action to the object ha-melekh {הַמֶּלֶךְ | hā-me-lēk} ‘the king’. This parallelism underlines both relational bond and communal duty in the narrative.
In context — 2 Samuel 19:12
My brothers, you are my own bone and my flesh ; so why should you be the last to bring back the king ?
