2 Samuel 19:15
Ver. 15. So the king returned, and came to Jordan,.... From Mahanaim thither, which according to Bunting {i} was twenty eight miles:
and Judah came to Gilgal; that is, the elders, or principal men of the tribe of Judah, came thither; which place, according to the same writer {k}, was twelve miles from Jerusalem, and four from Jordan; and was the first place the Israelites came to when they passed that river in Joshua's time; but it seems to be rather more; See Gill on "Jos 2:1" and See Gill on "Jos 4:19";
to go to meet the king, to conduct the king over Jordan; but then they must proceed further on, for Gilgal seems to be live or six miles on this side Jordan.
