Exegesis
Within the quotation, the Qal imperfect verbs eḥbbešā-lî {אֶחְבְּשָׁה־לִּי | ’eḥbbešā-lî} and wə’erkāḇ {וְאֶרְכַּב | wə’erkāḇ} express intended future actions. The direct object marker ’et in ’et-hamméleḵ shifts focus back to David accompanying the king.
In context — 2 Samuel 19:26
And he said, “My lord the king, my servant deceived me , for I said, ‘I will saddle the donkey for myself, ride on it, and go with the king,’ because your servant is lame .”
