Exegesis
The speech introduction vayomer {וַיֹּ֕אמֶר | wə-yo-mer} ushers in a direct question, where the interrogative ha-attah zeh {הַאַתָּ֥ה זֶ֖ה | ha-at-tá zêh} ‘is it you, this’ heightens astonishment and adoni Eliyahu {אֲדֹנִ֥י אֵלִיָּֽהוּ | ă-do-nî ʾê-li-yā-hu} serves as a formal respectful address. The linear arrangement of these elements creates a vivid scene of recognition, respect, and inquiry.
In context — 1 Kings 18:7
