Exegesis
A series of direct objects is introduced by et {אֶת־ | ’et}, creating a cumulative effect: et-David, ve’et-kol-avdei hamelech David {וְאֶת־כָּל־עַבְדֵ֖י הַמֶּ֣לֶךְ דָּוִ֑ד | wə-’et-kol-ʿăv-dê ha-me-leḵ Dā-wîd}, followed by ve-kol-ha-’am {וְכָל־הָעָם֙ | wə-kol-hā-‘ām} and ve-kol-hag-gib-bō-rîm {וְכָל־הַגִּבֹּרִים֔ | wə-kol-ha-gib-bō-rîm}. The construct chain avdei hamelech David ‘servants of King David’ binds the royal office to David.
In context — 2 Samuel 16:6
And he pelted David and all the servants of King David with stones, and all the people and all the mighty men on his right and on his left.
