2 Samuel 19:15

2 Samuel 19:15 -

Gilgal . As Gilgal lay upon the west bank of the Jordan ( Joshua 5:9 ), near Jericho and the fords, it was a convenient place for the elders of Judah to await there the king. During the crossing, two interesting events happened—the meeting of Shimei and David, and the leave taking of Barzillai the Gileadite. Shortly afterwards came the apology of Mephibosheth but it is uncertain whether he was among those who had come to Gilgal to welcome the king.
