Exegesis
The indirect object el-ha-melekh {אֶל־הַמֶּ֤לֶךְ | ʾel-ham-mê-lek} ‘to the king’ with honorific adoni {אֲדֹנִי֙ | ʾă-do-nî} ‘my lord’ frames a formal royal petition.
In context — 2 Samuel 14:15
And now that I have come to speak to the king, my lord, about this matter because the people have made me afraid. And your maidservant said, “Let me speak, please, to the king; perhaps he will grant the petition of his maidservant.”
