Exegesis
The subject avdei Saul {עַבְדֵ֤י שָׁאוּל֙ | ʿăḇdê šāʾûl} ‘servants of Saul’ precedes the prepositional phrase beoznei David {בְּאָזְנֵ֣י דָוִ֔ד | bəʾôznê dāwîḏ} ‘in the ears of David’, indicating audience focus.
In context — 1 Samuel 18:23
And the servants of Saul spoke these words in the ears of David, and David said, “Does it seem a small matter in your eyes to become the king’s son-in-law, since I am a poor and lightly regarded man?”
