SEV Biblia, Chapter 17:24
Y David llegó a Mahanaim, y Absalón pasó el Jordán con todos los varones de Israel.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 24. Then David came to Mahanaim , etc.] A city on the other side Jordan in the tribe of Gad, ( Joshua 13:26,30), famous for its being the place where the angels of God met Jacob, ( Genesis 32:1,2); and was for some time the seat of Ishbosheth the son of Saul, ( 2 Samuel 2:8); and Absalom passed over Jordan, he, and all the men of Israel with him ; not directly after David, but some time after, when, according to the counsel of Hushai, he had gathered all the warlike men of Israel to him that he could, and with this army pursued his father; not content to drive him to the other side Jordan, sought to seize his person, and take away his life, and so secure the crown and kingdom to him, of which he made no doubt, having such a numerous army, on which he relied.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 22-29 - Ahithophel hanged himself for vexation that his counsel was no followed. That will break a proud man's heart which will not break humble man's sleep. He thought himself in danger, concluding, that because his counsel was not followed, Absalom's cause would fail; an to prevent a possible public execution, he does justice upon himself Thus the breath is stopped, and the head laid low, from which nothin could be expected but mischief. Absalom chased his father. But observ how God sometimes makes up to his people that comfort from strangers which they are disappointed of in their own families. Our King need not our help; but he assures us, that what we do for the least of his brethren, who are sick, poor, and destitute, shall be accepted an recompensed as if done to himsel __________________________________________________________________
