New International Reader's Version

Absalom Dies

²⁴ David went to Mahanaim. Absalom went across the Jordan River with all the men of Israel. ²⁵ Absalom had made Amasa commander of the army in place of Joab. Amasa was the son of Jether. Jether belonged to the family line of Ishmael. He had married Abigail. She was the daughter of Nahash and the sister of Zeruiah. Zeruiah was the mother of Joab. ²⁶ Absalom and the Israelites camped in the land of Gilead.
