David went to the town of Mahanaim. Shobi son of Nahash came from Rabbah in Ammon, Machir son of Ammiel came from Lo-Debar, and Barzillai the Gileadite came from Rogelim. Here is a list of what they brought: sleeping mats, blankets, bowls, pottery jars, wheat, barley, flour, roasted grain, beans, lentils, Also honey, yogurt, sheep, and cheese. They brought food for David and the others because they knew that everyone would be hungry, tired, and thirsty from being out in the desert.
Barzillai, the man from Gilead, came from Rogelim with the king to the Jordan River to send him on his way. Barzillai was a very old man. He was eighty years old. He was very rich. He supplied the king with food while he was staying at Mahanaim. The king said to him: Come with me to Jerusalem. I will take care of you. read more.
Barzillai answered: I do not have long to live. Why should I go with Your Majesty to Jerusalem? I am already eighty years old. Nothing gives me pleasure any more. I cannot taste what I eat and drink. I cannot hear the voices of singers. I would only be a burden to my lord the king. I will cross the river with you. But I will only go a little way on the other side. You do not have to be so kind to me. Please let me return to my hometown. There I can someday be buried near my father and mother. My servant Chimham can go with you. You can treat him as your own. David said: I will take Chimham with me. Whatever you ask me to do for him, I will do. If you want anything else I will do it. David's soldiers went across the river. He stayed behind to tell Barzillai good-by and to wish him well. Barzillai returned home.
