It is most notably associated with Ittai the Gittite, a loyal warrior and leader from Gath who served King David. The name Ittai can be understood to mean "with me" or "companion," reflecting the loyalty and companionship he demonstrated.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Ittai the Gittite was a Philistine from Gath, one of the five major Philistine cities. Despite his foreign origin, Ittai showed remarkable loyalty to King David during Absalom's rebellion. His allegiance to David highlights the cultural exchanges and personal loyalties that transcended national boundaries in the ancient Near East. Ittai's account is a testament to the complex relationships between Israelites and their neighbors.<div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">אִתַּי</font> <font size="+1"
