From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Ittai
     near; timely; or, with the Lord. (1.) A Benjamite, one of
     David's thirty heroes (2 Sam. 23:29).
     
       (2.) A native of Gath, a Philistine, who had apparently the
     command of the six hundred heroes who formed David's band during


     his wanderings (2 Sam. 15:19-22; comp. 1 Sam. 23:13; 27:2; 30:9,
     10). He is afterwards with David at Mahanaim, holding in the
     army equal rank with Joab and Abishai (2 Sam. 18:2, 5, 12). He
     then passes from view.
