2 Kings 17:24
But David came to the camp, and Absalom passed over the Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him.
Challoner: To the campThe city of Mahanaim, the name of which, in Hebrew, signifies The camp. It was a city of note at that time, as appears from its having been chosen by Isboseth for the place of his residence.

Haydock's commentary
To the camp. The city of Mahanaim, the name of which in Hebrew, signifies The Camp. It was a city of note at that time; as appears from its having been chosen by Isboseth for the place of his residence. (Challoner)
The Vulgate often translates Mahanaim, or Manaim. See chap. ii. 8, 12. (Haydock)
Him. It is not known how soon. But he probably waited till he had collected his forces. David had done the like, and was joined by the king of Ammon, ver. 27.
