He is primarily mentioned in the context of Absalom's rebellion against David, as recorded in the book of 2 Samuel.<br><br><b>Background and Role:</b><br><br>Ittai was a Gittite, meaning he hailed from Gath, a Philistine city. Despite his foreign origin, Ittai demonstrated remarkable loyalty to King David. His allegiance is particularly highlighted during the crisis of Absalom's rebellion. When David was forced to flee Jerusalem to escape Absalom's advancing forces, Ittai, along with his men and their families, accompanied David. This act of loyalty is significant, as it underscores the deep bond and respect Ittai had for David, transcending national and ethnic boundaries.<br><br><b>Biblical Account:</b><br><br>The primary account of Ittai is found in <a href="/2_samuel/15-19.htm">2 Samuel 15:19-22</a>. As David was leaving Jerusalem, he addressed Ittai, offering him the opportunity to return and stay with Absalom, given that Ittai was a foreigner and not obligated to share in David's uncertain fate. David said to Ittai, "Why should you also go with us? Go back and stay with the new king, for you are a foreigner and an exile from your homeland" (<a href="/2_samuel/15-19.htm">2 Samuel 15:19</a>). However, Ittai's response is a profound declaration of loyalty: "As surely as the LORD lives, and as my lord the king lives, wherever my lord the king may be, whether in death or life, there will your servant be" (<a href="/2_samuel/15-21.htm">2 Samuel 15:21</a>). This pledge mirrors the covenantal language found elsewhere in Scripture, emphasizing faithfulness and commitment.<br><br><b>Military Leadership:</b><br><br>Ittai's loyalty was not only verbal but also practical. He was entrusted with a significant military role during the ensuing conflict. In <a href="/2_samuel/18-2.htm">2 Samuel 18:2</a>, David appointed Ittai as one of the commanders of his forces, alongside Joab and Abishai. This appointment indicates David's trust in Ittai's leadership and military prowess. Ittai's involvement in the battle against Absalom's forces further solidifies his status as a key ally and supporter of David during one of the most tumultuous periods of his reign.<br><br><b>Theological Significance:</b><br><br>From a theological perspective, Ittai's account is a powerful testament to the themes of loyalty, faithfulness, and the breaking down of ethnic barriers in the service of God's anointed king. His unwavering support for David, despite being a foreigner, prefigures the inclusive nature of God's kingdom, where allegiance to God's chosen leader transcends national and cultural lines. Ittai's commitment also serves as a model of discipleship, illustrating the call to follow God's anointed leader with steadfast devotion, regardless of personal cost or uncertainty.<br><br><b>Legacy:</b><br><br>Ittai's legacy is one of faithfulness and courage. His actions during Absalom's rebellion left a lasting impression on the biblical narrative, highlighting the importance of loyalty and integrity. Though a relatively minor character in the grand scope of Scripture, Ittai's account resonates with the broader biblical themes of covenant loyalty and the inclusion of the Gentiles in God's redemptive plan.<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Ittai</span><p>(<i>with the Lord</i>). <ol> <li>"Ittai the Gittite," i.e. the native of Gath, a Philistine in the army of King David. He appears only during the revolution of Absalom. (B.C. 1023.) We first discern him on the morning of David's flight. The king urges him to return. (<a href="/2_samuel/15-18.htm">2 Samuel 15:18,19</a>) Comp. 1Sam 23:13; 27:2; 30:9,10,19,20 But ittai is firm; he is the king's slave, and wherever his master goes he will go. Accordingly he is allowed by David to proceed. When the army was numbered and organized by David at Mahanaim, Ittai again appears, now in command of a third part of the force. (<a href="/2_samuel/18-2.htm">2 Samuel 18:2,5,12</a>)</li> <li>Son of Ribai, from Gibeah of Benjamin; one of the thirty heroes of David's guard.

A Benjamite, one of David's thirty heroes (<a href="/2_samuel/23-29.htm">2 Samuel 23:29</a>).<p>(2.) A native of Gath, a Philistine, who had apparently the command of the six hundred heroes who formed David's band during his wanderings (<a href="/2_samuel/15-19.htm">2 Samuel 15:19</a>-22; Comp. <a href="/1_samuel/23-13.htm">1 Samuel 23:13</a>; <a href="/1_samuel/27-2.htm">27:2</a>; <a href="/1_samuel/30-9.htm">30:9</a>, 10). He is afterwards with David at Mahanaim, holding in the army equal rank with Joab and Abishai (<a href="/2_samuel/18-2.htm">2 Samuel 18:2</a>, 5, 12). He then passes from view. <a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div><span class="encheading">ITTAI</span><p>it'-a-i, it'-i ('ittay, 'ithay):<br><br>(1) A Gittite or native of Gath, one of David's chief captains and most faithful friends during the rebellion of Absalom (<a href="/2_samuel/15-11.htm">2 Samuel 15:11-22</a>; <a href="/2_samuel/18-2.htm">2 Samuel 18:2, 4, 12</a>). The narrative reveals David's chivalrous and unselfish spirit in time of trouble, as well as the most self-sacrificing loyalty on the part of Ittai. He seems to have but recently left his native city and joined David's army through personal attachment to the king. David rapidly promoted him. Hearing of Absalom's rebellion and approach to Jerusalem, he flees with David. The latter remonstrates, urges him to go back and join Absalom, as he is a foreigner and in exile. His interests are in the capital and with the king; there is no reason why he should be a fugitive and perhaps suffer the loss of everything; it would be better for him, with his band of men, to put himself and them at the service of Absalom, the new king. "Mercy and truth be with thee," says David in his magnanimity. Ittai, with a double oath, absolutely refuses to go back, but will stand by David until the last. Remonstrance being useless, the monarch orders him across the river, doubtless glad that he had such a doughty warrior and faithful friend by his side. On mustering his hosts to meet Absalom, David makes Ittai a chief captain with the intrepid Joab and Abishai. He doubtless did his part in the battle, and as nothing more is said of him it is possible that he fell in the fight.<br><br>(2) A Benjamite, one of David's 30 mighty men (<a href="/2_samuel/23-29.htm">2 Samuel 23:29</a> <a href="/1_chronicles/11-31.htm">1 Chronicles 11:31</a>, "Ithai").<br><br>J.
