Contextual Overview
13 Then a man came to David with news, saying, "The hearts of the men of Israel are with Absalom." 14 David said to all his servants who were with him at Jerusalem, "Get up and let us run. Or else none of us will be safe from Absalom. Hurry and go, or he will be quick to catch us and bring trouble upon us. He would destroy the city with the sword." 15 The king's servants said to him, "See, your servants are ready to do whatever my lord the king chooses." 16 So the king left with all those of his house. But he left ten of his women to take care of the house. 17 The king left with all the people, and they stopped at the last house. 18 All his servants passed by him, and all the Cherethites, Pelethites, Gittites, and 600 men who had come with him from Gath. They all passed by the king. 19 Then the king said to Ittai the Gittite, "Why do you go with us also? Return and stay with the king. For you are from another land and have been driven from your home. 20 You came only yesterday. Should I make you go with us today, when I do not know where I am going? Return with your brothers. May loving-kindness and faith be with you." 21 But Ittai said to the king, "As the Lord lives, and as my lord the king lives, your servant will be where my lord the king may be, in death or in life." 22 So David said to him, "Go then, pass on." And Ittai the Gittite passed on, with all his men and all the little ones who were with him.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the king went forth,.... From Jerusalem; which is repeated, that it might be observed in what a hurry and fright he was:
and all the people after him; his family, court, and servants, and as many of the people of Jerusalem as chose to go with him:
and tarried at a place that was afar off; when they had got at some distance from the city, they stopped and stayed a while; it could not be a great way from it, for they had not as yet passed over the brook Kidron, 2 Samuel 15:23.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Samuel 15:17. And tarried in a place — He probably waited till he saw all his friends safely out of the city.
