Exegesis
The prepositional phrase el chatanav {אֶל־חֲתָנָיו | ʾel-ḥăṯānāyw} ‘to his sons-in-law’ identifies the addressees, further defined by the construct lokchei benotav {לֹקְחֵי בְנֹתָיו | lōqĕḥê bənōṯāyw} ‘those taking his daughters’, indicating betrothal rather than completed marriage.
In context — Genesis 19:14
And Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, those who had taken his daughters, and said, “Get up, go out from this place, because the LORD is about to destroy the city.” But to his sons-in-law he seemed like one joking.
