Then the king went on to Gilgal,.... Which, according to Josephus , was fifty furlongs from Jordan, six miles and a quarter:and Chimham went on with him; after Barzillai had left them, and accompanied the king to Jerusalem:and all the people of Judah conducted the king; to Jerusalem; who came to meet him, 2Sa 19:15;and also half the people of Israel; or a part of them, as the word used signifies, and not always an equal half, so Kimchi observes; even such of Israel as went out with David at first, and the a thousand men of Benjamin that came to meet him, 2Sa 19:17.

Antiqu. l. 5. c. 1. sect.
