Exegesis
The prepositional phrase elav {אֵלָיו | ʾēlāyw} ‘to him’ marks the indirect object, while hamelech {הַמֶּלֶךְ | ham-meleḵ} ‘the king’ serves as the subject with fronting for emphasis.
In context — 2 Chronicles 18:15
And the king said to him, “How many times must I put you under oath to speak only the truth to me in the name of the LORD ?”
