38 and out of the tribe of Gad, ^oRamoth in Gilead with its pasturelands, the city of refuge for the manslayer, ^pMahanaim with its pasturelands,

Ish-bosheth Made King of Israel

8 But ^lAbner the son of Ner, commander of Saul’s army, took Ish-bosheth the son of Saul and brought him over to ^mMahanaim,

24 Then David came to ^jMahanaim. And Absalom crossed the Jordan with all the men of Israel.

27 When David came to Mahanaim, ^mShobi the son of Nahash from ⁿRabbah of the Ammonites, and ^oMachir the son of Ammiel from Lo-debar, and ^pBarzillai the Gileadite from Rogelim,

8 And there is also with you ^cShimei the son of Gera, the Benjaminite from Bahurim, who cursed me with a grievous curse on the day ^dwhen I went to Mahanaim. ^eBut when he came down to meet me at the Jordan, I swore to him by the Lord, saying, ‘I will not put you to death with the sword.’
