Exegesis
A second vav-consecutive vayomer YHWH {וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה | wā-yō-mer yə-hō-wāh} ‘and the LORD said’ introduces a divine oracle, followed by the negative nominal clause lo adonim la’eleh {לֹא־אֲדֹנִים לָאֵלֶּה | lō ’ă-dō-nîm lā-’ē-lê} ‘they have no masters’.
In context — 2 Chronicles 18:16
He said, “I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains like sheep that have no shepherd; and the LORD said, ‘They have no masters ; let each return to his house in peace.’”
