International Standard Version

David Receives Supplies in the Wilderness

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^[a] camped in the territory of Gilead.
