Exegesis
The verbless clause tov lī ʿōḏ ʾanî-šām {טוֹב לִ֖י עֹד אֲנִי־שָׁ֑ם | ṭōḇ lī ʿōḏ ʾanî-šām} conveys a counterfactual preference.
In context — 2 Samuel 14:32
And Absalom said to Joab, “Behold, I sent for you, saying, ‘Come here so I may send you to the king to say, “Why did I come from Geshur? It would have been better for me to still be there.” Now then, let me see the king’s face and, if there is guilt in me, let him put me to death.’”
