The author does not formally introduce Ittai the Gittite as a participant in the story, even though he later has an important role in it. The next verse provides some further information about him, but if it would be helpful to your readers, you could introduce him in more detail here. The UST models one way to do that.

David is using the question form to tell Ittai the Gittite not to go with him. If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: [You should not be going with us!]

In a context such as this, your language might say “coming” instead of going. Alternate translation: [are you also coming]

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: [Since you are a foreigner and you are also an exile to your place, return and dwell with the king]
