Exegesis
The mediating expression beyad-avdo {בְּיַד־עַבְדּוֹ | bə-yad-ʿăvḏō} ‘by the hand of His servant’ employs a construct chain to denote prophetic agency, and the concluding title hannavi {הַנָּבִיא | hannāvîʾ} ‘the prophet’ reinforces Ahijah’s authoritative role. English translation renders the Hebrew verb-subject order into a clear topical sequence while preserving the theological emphasis on divine agency.
In context — 1 Kings 14:18
And they buried him, and all Israel mourned for him according to the word of the LORD which He spoke by the hand of His servant Ahijah the prophet .
