Exegesis
The construct chain ish-haElohim {אִישׁ־הָאֱלֹהִ֛ים | ’îš-hāʾĕlōhîm} ‘man of God’ marks a prophetic figure.
The participle yoshev {יֹשֵׁ֖ב | yōšēḇ} ‘sitting’ functions as a circumstantial participle indicating ongoing posture, while tachat {תַּ֣חַת | ṭaḥat} ‘under’ and haelah {הָאֵלָ֑ה | hāʾēlāh} ‘oak’ specify location.
