Commentary on 2 Samuel 15:19–221 voice
Thou art a stranger, and also an exile - Some suppose that Ittai was the son of Achish, king of Gath, who was very much attached to David, and banished from his father’s court on that account. He and his six hundred men are generally supposed to have been proselytes to the Jewish religion.
