וַיֹּ֤אמֶר הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ אֶל־אִתַּ֣י הַגִּתִּ֔י לָ֧מָּה תֵלֵ֛ךְ גַּם־אַתָּ֖ה אִתָּ֑נוּ שׁ֣וּב וְשֵׁ֤ב עִם־הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ כִּֽי־נָכְרִ֣י אַ֔תָּה וְגַם־גֹּלֶ֥ה אַתָּ֖ה לִמְקוֹמֶֽךָ׃
At sinabi ng hari kay Itai na Geteo: “Bakit sasama ka pa sa amin? Bumalik ka at manatili kasama ng hari, sapagkat ikaw ay dayuhan; at kung ikaw man ay mangingibang-lugar, bumalik ka sa iyong sariling lugar.”
Rashi
Because you are a foreigner. We are fleeing without provisions and food, and because you are a foreigner you will not find people that will have pity on you.
Rashi
And even if you are estranged [from Avsholom]. And even if you are exiled from the king [Avsholom] because you do not want to be with him, then return to your home because it is not good to go with me because you [just] came yesterday.7This verse blends into verse 20 where Dovid explains more about why it is disadvantageous for Itai to stay with him.
