Exegesis
The prepositional phrase immekha {עִמְּךָ | ʿim-mə-khā} ‘with you’ and the adverb sham {שָׁם | šām} ‘there’ set the spatial context before the appositional identification of the priests tsadoq {צָד֥וֹק | ṣā-ḏōq} and eveatar {וְאֶבְיָתָ֖ר | wə-’ĕ-vyā-tār}.
Root and etymology
š-mshin–mem

In context — 2 Samuel 15:35
And are not Zadok and Abiathar the priests there with you? And it shall be that every matter that you hear from the king’s house , you shall tell to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests.
