Exegesis
The nominal clause hayah navi la-YHWH {הָיָה נָבִיא לַיהוָה | hā-yāh nā-ḇîʾ la-YHWH} uses a perfect verb to state existence and introduces oded by shmo {שְׁמוֹ | šə-mōw}.
In context — 2 Chronicles 28:9
But a prophet to the LORD was there, named Oded; he went out before the army coming to Samaria and said to them, “Look—because the LORD, the God of your fathers was angry with Judah, he gave them into your hand; yet you killed them in a rage that has risen to heaven.”
