Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch Old Testament Commentary

The account of the civil war, which terminated with Absalom's defeat and death, is introduced in Sa2 17:24-26 with a description of the relative position of the two hostile parties. David had come to Mahanaim, a city probably a fortified one, on the east of the Jordan, not far from the ford of the Jabbok (see at Sa2 2:8). Absalom had also gone over the Jordan, "he and all the men with him," i.e., all the fighting men that he had gathered together according to Hushai's advice, and encamped in the land of Gilead.
