²⁷ Now it happened, when David had come to Mahanaim, that ^(A)Shobi the son of Nahash from Rabbah of the people of Ammon, ^(B)Machir the son of Ammiel from Lo Debar, and ^(C)Barzillai the Gileadite from Rogelim, ²⁸ brought beds and basins, earthen vessels and wheat, barley and flour, parched grain and beans, lentils and parched seeds, ²⁹ honey and curds, sheep and cheese of the herd, for David and the people who were with him to eat. For they said, “The people are hungry and weary and thirsty ^(D)in the wilderness.”

⁷ “But show kindness to the sons of ^(A)Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be among those who ^(B)eat at your table, for so ^(C)they came to me when I fled from Absalom your brother.
