Exegesis
The response ani {אָֽנִי | ’ănî} ‘I am’ mirrors Hebrew economy. In translation, vav-consecutives become simple past for readability, and direct speech is maintained to delineate narrative and dialogue.
In context — 1 Kings 13:14
And he went after the man of God and found him sitting under the oak tree . He said to him, “Are you the man of God who came from Judah?” And he said, “I am.”
