Exegesis
The beneficiary lanavi {לַנָּבִ֖יא | lanāwî} “for the prophet” indicates the recipient, and the relative clause asher {אֲשֶׁר | ʾăšer} “who” with heshivo {הֱשִׁיבֽוֹ | hĕšî·ḇō} “had brought him back” qualifies that prophet, clarifying that the donkey is provided for the returned man of God. English renderings preserve the Hebrew layering of temporal, main, and qualifying clauses.
In context — 1 Kings 13:23
And it happened, after he had eaten bread and after he had drunk, that he saddled the donkey for the prophet whom he had brought back.
