Exegesis
The vav-consecutive wayyōmer {וַיֹּאמֶר | wayyōmer} introduces direct speech by han-naʿăr {הַנַּעַר | han-naʿăr}, establishing the servant-master relationship.
In context — Judges 19:11
Now they were near Jebus, and the day had declined greatly. Then the servant said to his master, “Please let us go and turn aside to this city of the Jebusite and let us spend the night in it.”
