Exegesis
The infinitive lalechet im-avotekha {לָלֶכֶת עִם־אֲבֹתֶיךָ | lā-le-ḵeṯ ʿim-’a-vo-te-ḵā} functions idiomatically as “to go to the ancestors,” a euphemism for death.
In context — 1 Chronicles 17:11
And it will be when your days are fulfilled to go with your fathers, that I will raise up your offspring after you, who will be of your sons, and I will establish his kingdom.
