The city and territory of Mahanaim; of which see Gen 32:2; Jos 13:26. But this seems too narrow a compass for one of these great officers, and unequal to the rest; although these portions seem not to be distributed into equal portions of land, but into larger or lesser parts, according to their fertility or barrenness. And this seems to have been a very fruitful place. See 2Sa 17:27. Or, to Mahanaim. So he may understand all the space from the parts last mentioned to Mahanaim, which was in the tribe of Gad.

Baanah the son of Hushai was in Asher,.... In the tribe of Asher; a very plentiful tribe, particularly for oil; this officer was perhaps the son of Hushai, the Archite, David's friend, and, it may be, promoted for his sake:
and in Aloth; which signifies ascensions, mountains went upon by steps; near to this place was an high mountain, called the ladder of Tyre (t); perhaps that and the parts adjacent may be meant here.

(14) The seventh division, still on the other side of Jordan, is the region of Mahanaim, in the territory of Gad. Mahanaim (“the camps”), the scene of Jacob’s angelic vision on his return to Canaan (Gen_36:3), assigned to Dan after the Conquest (see Jos_13:26; Jos_13:30; Jos_21:38), must have been afterwards an important place; for it was the seat of Ishbosheth’s government (2Sa_2:8; 2Sa_2:12; 2Sa_2:29), and the place where David established himself on fleeing from Absalom (2Sa_17:24; 2Sa_17:27), and where he received large supplies from Barzillai and other chiefs.
