‏ Genesis 32:2

v. 2: Jacob saw the angels and called the place Mahanaim, which means "two camps" or "two armies." He understood that God’s angels were camping around him to keep him safe. Jacob thanked God for this protection and remembered this special moment by naming the place (Genesis 32:2; Psalm 91:11 a; Song of Solomon 6:13 b). This shows how God surrounds His people with help both in peaceful times and when facing trouble.
