Verse 40
Then the king went on to Gilgal ,.... Which, according to Josephus F14 Antiqu. l. 5. c. 1. sect. 4. , 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, 2 Samuel 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, 2 Samuel 19:17 .
