This.
I recently downloaded the KJV on audible, because I commute to class and it's a long drive. I've been making my way through it and this is how it reads. It is pretty clear that he is talking to other deities at this passage. This also falls in line with the history of the Jewish people and their split from the earlier Canaanite religion which they were a part of.
