Exegesis
The subject noun phrase ʾîš hāʾĕlōhîm {אִישׁ הָאֱלֹהִים | ʾîš hāʾĕlōhîm} ‘man of God’ designates a prophetic figure, and the subsequent vav-consecutive vayōmer {וַיֹּאמֶר | wayyōmer} ‘and he said’ introduces direct discourse.
In context — 2 Kings 13:19
And the man of God became angry with him and said, “You should have struck five or six times; then you would have struck Aram until it was completely destroyed . But now you will strike Aram only three times.”
