Exegesis
The prepositional phrase kî-dᵊvar YHWH {כִּדְבַר יְהוָה | kî-dᵊvar Yə-hō-wāh} ‘according to the word of the LORD’ frames divine mandate, and the relative clauses asher diber {אֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר | ʾăšer dîbber} ‘which He spoke’ plus bəyad avdō {בְּיַד־עַבְדּוֹ | bə-yad ʿaḇdô} ‘by the hand of His servant’ identify Ahijah the Shilonite {אֲחִיָּה הַשִּׁילֹנִי | ʾăḥiyyāh ha-šîlônî} as the prophetic mediator, underscoring fulfillment of spoken prophecy.
