Exegesis
The expression ʿeśer-yāḏôṯ {עֶֽשֶׂר־יָדוֹת֙ | ʿeśer yāḏôṯ} “ten portions” intensifies the collective stake, while the infinitive construct ləhāšîḇ {לְהָשִׁ֥יב | ləhāšîḇ} introduces a purposive clause “to restore.”
In context — 2 Samuel 19:43
And the men of Israel answered the men of Judah and said, “We have ten portions in the king, and we also have a greater portion in David. Why have you slighted me ? Was my counsel not first in restoring my king? Yet the words of the men of Judah were harsher than the words of the men of Israel.”
