2 Samuel 19:15

So the king returned, and came to Jordan ,.... From Mahanaim thither, which according to Bunting F9 Travels, &c.; p. 142. 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 F11 Travels, &c.; p. 142, 143. , 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 Joshua 2:1 and See Gill on Joshua 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.
