2 Samuel 17:24-27 ▼

24 Later, David arrived at Mahanaim. Absalom and all of the Israelis who supported him crossed the Jordan River.

25 Absalom had installed Amasa in place of Joab over the army. (Amasa was the son of a man named Jether the Ishmaelite. His mother was Abigail, a daughter of Nahash and a sister of Zeruiah, Joab's mother.)

26 Absalom and the Israelis with him camped in the territory of Gilead.

27 When David arrived at Mahanaim, Shobi (Nahash's son from the Ammonite town of Rabbah), Makir (Ammiel's son from Lo-debar), and Barzillai (from Rogelim in Gilead) were already there.
