Exegesis
The direct object marker ʾet {אֶת־ | ʾet-} precedes hammeleḵ {הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ | hammeleḵ} ‘the king’, and the goal is expressed by the place name yerûšālayim {יְרוּשָׁלָֽ͏ִם | yerûšālayim} ‘Jerusalem’. In translation, the Hebraic construct is smoothed for clarity while maintaining the rhetorical force of the original question.
In context — 2 Samuel 19:34
And Barzillai said to the king, “How many are the days of my life that I should go up with the king to Jerusalem?”
