Exegesis
The conjunction kī {כִּ֣י | kī} ‘that’ leads into the subordinate clause of inquiry, which hinges on the imperfect ʾeʿaleh {אֶעֱלֶ֔ה | ʾeʿaleh} ‘should I go up’, conveying a cohortative-subjunctive nuance.
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?”
