Commentary

And Ittai answered the king, and said,.... With an oath, as follows: as the Lord livet h, and as my lord the king liveth; which he took to confirm what he after says, and to put an end to the debate between them: surely, in what place my lord the king shall be, whether in death or life, even there also will thy servant be; signifying that he would attend him wherever he went, hazard his life in his cause, and live and die with him.
