Exegesis
A parallel vav-coordination in ve-abshalom {וְאַבְשָׁלֹם | wə-’ăḇ-šā-lōm} aligns Absalom’s movement, while the verb avar {עָבַר | ‘ā-var} takes the direct object marked by the particle et {אֶת | ’eṯ}, demonstrating transitivity.
In context — 2 Samuel 17:24
And David came to Mahanaim , and Absalom crossed the Jordan, he and every man of Israel with him.
