Exegesis
The imperative lechi {לְכִ֣י | ləḵî} ‘go’ (feminine singular) initiates the command, followed by leveitekh {לְבֵיתֵ֑ךְ | ləbêṯêḵ} ‘to your house’ specifying destination.
In context — 2 Samuel 14:8
Then the king said to the woman, “Go to your house, and I will give a command concerning you.”
