SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
and he returned
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 'and he turned back' is contextually accurate but the narrative context and the SILEX definition support 'and he returned' as a slightly more idiomatic rendering for a king going back to his residence. |
