Exegesis
The response uses the participle šōmēaʿ {שֹׁמֵעַ | šōmēaʿ} ‘listening’ alongside ’ānōḵî {אָנֹכִֽי | ʼānōḵî} ‘I’, indicating ongoing attentiveness. The English SVO order preserves the Hebrew’s honorific nuance and clearly attributes each utterance.
In context — 2 Samuel 20:17
And he approached her, and the woman said, “Are you Joab?” And he said, “I am.” Then she said to him, “Listen to the words of your servant.” And he said, “I am listening.”
