Gill's Notes on the Bible
So every man of Israel went up from after David,.... Those that met him on the road departed from him, and went no further with him:
[and] followed Sheba the son of Bichri; and made him their captain, who was the author of their mutiny and sedition:
but the men of Judah clave unto their king, from Jordan to Jerusalem: never left him, after they had conducted him over Jordan, until they had brought him safely to Jerusalem.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
From Jordan ... - The men of Israel only escorted David from Jordan to Gilgal, and there left him; but the men of Judah in a body went with him all the way to Jerusalem.
