Exegesis
The direct object marker ’ēt {אֵת | ’ēt} precedes the construct noun ‘ăṣaṯ {עֲצַת | ’ă-ṣaṯ} ‘counsel’ of ’Aḥîṭôp̄el {אֲחִיתֹפֶל | ’ă-ḥî-ṭō-p̄el} ‘Ahithophel’, rendered as a possessive in English.
In context — 2 Samuel 15:34
But if you return to the city and say to Absalom, “I am your servant, O king; I was your father’s servant from then until now, and now I am your servant,” then you will frustrate for me the counsel of Ahithophel .
