Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(26) Pitched in the land of Gilead.--Gilead is the tract of country on the east of the Jordan, extending from the land of Moab on the south to Bashan on the north, the valley of the Hieromax forming probably its northern boundary. The site of Mahanaim has not been identified, but it was almost certainly within the territory of Gilead. Absalom, however, did not actually reach Mahanaim before he met and was defeated by the forces of David.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewSo the Israelitesיִשְׂרָאֵל֙ (yiś·rā·’êl)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 3478: Israel -- 'God strives', another name of Jacob and his descand Absalomוְאַבְשָׁלֹ֔ם (wə·’aḇ·šā·lōm)Conjunctive waw | Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 53: Absalom -- 'my father is peace', two Israelitescampedוַיִּ֤חַן (way·yi·ḥan)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 2583: To incline, to decline, to pitch a, tent, gen, to encampin the landאֶ֖רֶץ (’e·reṣ)Noun - feminine singular constructStrong's 776: Earth, landof Gilead.הַגִּלְעָֽד׃ (hag·gil·‘āḏ)Article | Noun - proper - feminine singularStrong's 1568: Gilead -- a region in Palestine, also the name of several IsraelitesJump to PreviousAbsalom Ab'salom Camped Encamped Encampeth Gilead Israel Israelites Pitched Tents
