Exegesis
The subsequent clause, marked by wayyip̣ṣár-bō {וַיִּפְצַר־בּוֹ | wayyip̣ṣár-bō} ‘and he urged him’, introduces the father-in-law (ḥōṭénō {חֹתְנוֹ | ḥōṭénō}) and his persuasive action, with the suffix bō {בּוֹ | bō} clarifying the object.
In context — Judges 19:7
And the man arose to go, but his father-in-law urged , so he returned and spent the night there.
