Exegesis
A shift to origin is marked by mi-Yerushalayim {מִירוּשָׁלִַם | mî-Yə-ru-šālayim} ‘from Jerusalem’, and the infinitive lirḏōp̄ {לִרְדֹּף | lirḏōp̄} ‘to pursue’ introduces the purpose clause.
In context — 2 Samuel 20:7
Joab’s men, the Kerethites and the Pelethites, with all the mighty men , went out from Jerusalem to pursue Sheba son of Bichri.
