Exegesis
The verse opens with the conjunction ve-khol {וְכָל־ | wə-kol}, introducing an exhaustive listing.
A trifold enumeration of ethnic groups—ha-kereti {הַכְּרֵתִ֖י | ha-kə-rê-tî}, ha-peleti {הַפְּלֵתִ֑י | ha-pə-lê-tî}, ha-gittim {הַגִּתִּ֞ים | ha-gi-ttîm}—each introduced by ve-khol underscores distinct contingents.
In context — 2 Samuel 15:18
And all his servants were passing by his side, and all the Kerethites and all the Pelethites and all the Gittites, six hundred men who came on foot from Gath, were passing before the king .
