Exegesis
The first participle elthontes {ἐλθόντες | elthóntes} “having come” establishes the temporal context for the main verb parekalesan {παρεκάλεσαν | parekálēsan} “they entreated,” with autous {αὐτούς | autoús} as the object referring to Paul and Silas.
In context — Acts 16:39
So they came and entreated them, and after bringing them out, they kept urging them to depart from the city .
