Three friends help David

²⁴ David arrived at Mahanaim with his men. Absalom and Israel's army went across the Jordan River. ²⁵ Joab had been the leader of Israel's army. But now Absalom had chosen Amasa as leader instead of Joab. Amasa's father, Jether, was a descendant of Ishmael. He had married Abigail. She was Nahash's daughter and a sister of Zeruiah, Joab's mother. ²⁶ Absalom and Israel's army made their camp in Gilead region.
