1 Samuel 25:1Plain English VersionAbout that time the old man Samuel died. The Israel mob came together and cried for him. They buried him at his place in the town called Ramah. After that, David and his men went back to the desert country called Maon. See the chapter |
The Canaan people lived in that land. They saw Joseph and his mob crying at the place called Atad, near the Jordan River. And they said to each other, “Look at that mob that came here from Egypt country. They are really sad.” So the Canaan people gave that place a new name. They called it Abel-Mizrayim. That name means the Egypt people are sad.
