Exegesis
The narrative begins with the consecutive imperfect wāyyōmer {וַיֹּ֣אמֶר | wayyōmer} introducing direct speech to lo {ל֗וֹ | lō}.
The final Piel perfect kîḥēš lō {כִּחֵ֖שׁ לֽוֹ | kîḥēš lō} exposes deception. English rendering preserves Hebrew parataxis, clause relations, and thematic contrasts.
In context — 1 Kings 13:18
And he said to him, “I also am a prophet like you, and an angel spoke to me by the word of the LORD , saying, ‘Bring him back with you to your house so that he may eat bread and drink water.’” But he lied to him.
