Exegesis
The narrative advances through vav-consecutive forms, such as vayyelek {וַיֵּ֗לֶךְ | wayyēlēḵ} ‘and he went’, vayimtsaehu {וַיִּ֨מְצָאֵ֔הוּ | wayyimṣāʾēhû} ‘and he found him’, and vayomer {וַיֹּ֣אמֶר | wayyōmer} ‘and he said’, to build sequential action.
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.”
