Exegesis
The indirect object elav {אֵלָיו֙ | ʾēlāw} ‘to him’ identifies the audience, followed by the subject adonaiw {אֲדֹנָ֔יו | ʾădōnāyw} ‘his master’ containing a pronominal suffix.
In context — Judges 19:12
And his master said to him, “We will not turn aside into a foreign city , which is not of the sons of Israel; instead, we will proceed on to Gibeah.”
