Ittai, a proper name borne by two of David's men: a Gittite commander and a Benjamite warrior.
The name Ittai (possibly meaning 'companionable,' from אֵת 'with') is borne by two figures in David's circle. The more prominent is Ittai the Gittite, a foreign soldier from Gath who displayed remarkable loyalty during Absalom's revolt, insisting on following David into exile (2 Sam 15:19-22) and later commanding a third of the army at the decisive battle (2 Sam 18:2, 5, 12). The second Ittai is a Benjamite among David's thirty mighty men (2 Sam 23:29; cf. 1 Chr 11:31). Translations uniformly preserve the name: 'Itai' in Spanish, 'Ittai' in English and French.
