Contextual Overview
13 Someone came to David with the report, "The whole country has taken up with Absalom!" 14 "Up and out of here!" called David to all his servants who were with him in Jerusalem. "We've got to run for our lives or none of us will escape Absalom! Hurry, he's about to pull the city down around our ears and slaughter us all!" 15 The king's servants said, "Whatever our master, the king, says, we'll do; we're with you all the way!" 16So the king and his entire household escaped on foot. The king left ten concubines behind to tend to the palace. And so they left, step by step by step, and then paused at the last house as the whole army passed by him—all the Kerethites, all the Pelethites, and the six hundred Gittites who had marched with him from Gath, went past. 19The king called out to Ittai the Gittite, "What are you doing here? Go back with King Absalom. You're a stranger here and freshly uprooted from your own country. You arrived only yesterday, and am I going to let you take your chances with us as I live on the road like a gypsy? Go back, and take your family with you. And God's grace and truth go with you!" 21 But Ittai answered, "As God lives and my master the king lives, where my master is, that's where I'll be—whether it means life or death." 22 "All right," said David, "go ahead." And they went on, Ittai the Gittite with all his men and all the children he had with him. 23The whole country was weeping in loud lament as all the people passed by. As the king crossed the Brook Kidron, the army headed for the road to the wilderness. Zadok was also there, the Levites with him, carrying God 's Chest of the Covenant. They set the Chest of God down, Abiathar standing by, until all the people had evacuated the city.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And David said unto Ittai, go, and pass over,.... It being his resolution to abide with him, he urged him no more to depart, but bid him pass over the brook Kidron before him:
and Ittai the Gittite passed over, and all his men; the six hundred Gittites that were under his command:
and all the little ones that [were] with him; that belonged to him and his men, and no doubt their wives also.
