Strong's Lexicon

ithay: Ittai

Original Word: אִיתַי
Part of Speech: particle; substantive
Transliteration: iythay
Pronunciation: ee-thah'-ee
Phonetic Spelling: (ee-thah'ee)
Definition: Ittai
Meaning: entity, as a, particle of affirmation, there is

Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root אֵת (eth), meaning "with" or "together with."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Ittai, the concept of loyalty and companionship can be related to Greek terms such as φίλος (philos, Strong's Greek 5384), meaning "friend" or "companion."

Usage: The name Ittai means "with me" or "companion." In the Bible, Ittai is a notable figure known for his loyalty and bravery. He is primarily recognized as a Gittite leader who pledged allegiance to King David during Absalom's rebellion.

Cultural and Historical Background: Ittai the Gittite was a foreigner from Gath, a Philistine city, yet he demonstrated remarkable loyalty to David, the king of Israel. His account is set during a tumultuous period in Israel's history when David's son Absalom attempted to usurp the throne. Despite being a foreigner, Ittai's commitment to David highlights the theme of loyalty transcending national and ethnic boundaries, a significant concept in the ancient Near Eastern context where tribal and national affiliations were strong.
