Exegesis
The relative clause asher itto {אֲשֶׁר אִתּוֹ | ʾăšer ʾiṯtô} ‘who were with him’ qualifies the group. English rendering maintains the Hebrew word order and aspect by distinguishing the command in direct speech and mirroring the sequence of verbs.
In context — 2 Samuel 15:22
And David said to Ittai, “Go on and cross over.” So Ittai the Gittite crossed over with all his men and all the little ones who were with him.
