Exegesis
The Hiphil imperative hagishu {הַגִּ֣שׁוּ | haggîšû} ‘bring’ issues a command, and the prepositional phrase elay {אֵלַי | ʼēlāy} ‘to me’ marks Saul as recipient.
In context — 1 Samuel 13:9
Then Saul said, “Bring to me the burnt offering and the peace offerings ,” and he offered up the burnt offering.
