Contextual Overview
13 A messenger came to David, saying, "The Israelites are giving their loyalty to Absalom." 14 Then David said to all his officers who were with him in Jerusalem, "We must leave quickly! If we don't, we won't be able to get away from Absalom. We must hurry before he catches us and destroys us and kills the people of Jerusalem." 15 The king's officers said to him, "We will do anything you say." 16 The king set out with everyone in his house, but he left ten slave women to take care of the palace. 17 The king left with all his people following him, and they stopped at a house far away. 18 All the king's servants passed by him—the Kerethites and Pelethites, all those from Gath, and the six hundred men who had followed him. 19 The king said to Ittai, a man from Gath, "Why are you also going with us? Turn back and stay with King Absalom because you are a foreigner. This is not your homeland. 20 You joined me only a short time ago. Should I make you wander with us when I don't even know where I'm going? Turn back and take your brothers with you. May kindness and loyalty be shown to you." 21 But Ittai said to the king, "As surely as the Lord lives and as you live, I will stay with you, whether it means life or death." 22 David said to Ittai, "Go, march on." So Ittai from Gath and all his people with their children marched on.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the king went forth,.... Which determined the case:
and all his household after him family and his court; they followed his example, and attended him in his flight:
and the king left ten women, [which were] concubines, to keep the house; not to defend it, which they were unable to do, but to look after the household goods and furniture, that they were not damaged by the conspirators; though one would think they could be of little service, and may wonder what he should leave them behind for; but this seems to be ordered by the overruling providence of God, to bring about what was threatened him, 2 Samuel 12:11; and it is much he had not thought of it; but it was hid from his eyes, that it might be fulfilled.
