Exegesis
The construct ba'alei Keilah {בַּעֲלֵי קְעִילָה | ba-‘ă-lê Qə-‘î-lāh} functions as the subject, while the direct object markers oti {אֹתִי | ʾō-tî} ‘me’ and ve'etanashai {וְאֶת־אֲנָשָׁי | wə-’et-ă-nā-šāy} ‘my men’ identify those at risk.
In context — 1 Samuel 23:12
Then David said, “Will the men of Keilah surrender me and my men into Saul’s hand?” And the LORD said, “They will deliver you.”
