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

In context — 2 Samuel 15:35
