2 Samuel 17:26-27

17:26 The army of Israel 1  and Absalom camped in the land of Gilead.

17:27 When David came to Mahanaim, Shobi the son of Nahash from Rabbah of the Ammonites, Makir the son of Ammiel from Lo Debar, and Barzillai the Gileadite from Rogelim

Genesis 32:2

32:2 When Jacob saw them, he exclaimed, 2  “This is the camp of God!” So he named that place Mahanaim. 3 

1 tn Heb “and Israel.”

2 tn Heb “and Jacob said when he saw them.”

3 sn The name Mahanaim apparently means “two camps.” Perhaps the two camps were those of God and of Jacob.
