Why will you come with us?
This rhetorical question indicates that the king does not think they should go along with him. This question can be written as a statement. AT: "You do not need to go with us." (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion)
why should I make you wander all over with us?
This rhetorical question emphasizes David did not want Ittai to come. This question can be translated as a statement. AT: "I do not want to cause you to wander around with us." (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion)
Since you just left yesterday
Here "yesterday" is an exaggeration that emphasizes a short amount of time. Ittai the Gittite had lived there for several years. AT: "Since you have lived here only a short time" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-hyperbole)
May loyalty and faithfulness go with you
This is a blessing that David is giving to him. AT: "May Yahweh be faithful and loyal to you always" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit)
