Exegesis
The conjunction ki {כִּֽי־ | kî} ‘for’ introduces a causal clause characterizing Ittai as nakhri {נָכְרִ֣י | nāḵrî} ‘foreigner’ and, with the conjunctive vav-gam in vegam {וְגַם־ | wə-gam}, as goleh {גֹּלֶ֥ה | gōlē} ‘exile’, finalized by the phrase limqomekha {לִמְקוֹמֶֽךָ | limmqō-mēkā̆} ‘to your place’. The repeated pronoun and parallel structure underscore royal authority and the social distinction of a non-Israelite.
In context — 2 Samuel 15:19
And the king said to Ittai the Gittite, “Why should you also go with us? Return and remain with the king, for you are a foreigner and an exile to your own place.”
