Exegesis
The independent pronoun hu {ה֕וּא | hûʾ} serves to emphasize the subject before the collective noun phrase ve-kol-ish {וְכָל־אִישׁ | wə-kāl ʾîš} yisrael {יִשְׂרָאֵל | yiś-rā-’ēl} immo {עִמּוֹ | ʿim-mô}, which intensifies the notion of unified support.
In context — 2 Samuel 17:24
And David came to Mahanaim , and Absalom crossed the Jordan, he and every man of Israel with him.
