2 Samuel 17:24

2 Samuel 17:24

22 So David and all the people who were with him arose and crossed over the Jordan. By morning light not one of them was left who had not gone over the Jordan.

23 Now when Ahithophel saw that his advice was not followed, he saddled a donkey, and arose and went home to ^ahis house, to his city. Then he¹ put his ^bhousehold in order, and ^changed himself, and died; and he was buried in his father’s tomb.

24 Then David went to ^aMahanaim. And Absalom crossed over the Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him.

25 And Absalom made ^aAmasa captain of the army instead of Joab. This Amasa was the son of a man whose name was¹ Jithra, an Israelite, who had gone in to ^bAbigail the daughter of Nahash, sister of Zeruiah, Joab’s mother.

26 So Israel and Absalom encamped in the land of Gilead.

Then David came to Mahanaim—in the high eastern country of Gilead, the seat of Ish-bosheth's government.

Absalom passed over Jordan—It is not said how long an interval elapsed, but there must have been sufficient time to make the intended levy throughout the kingdom.
