brought
The Hebrew root for "brought" is "בּוֹא" (bo), which means to come or to bring. This action signifies a deliberate and purposeful act of provision and support. In the context of David's flight from Absalom, this act of bringing supplies is a demonstration of loyalty and care from those who supported David. It reflects the biblical principle of community and the importance of supporting one another in times of need.

beds
The term "beds" here refers to sleeping mats or bedding, which were essential for rest and recovery. In the ancient Near Eastern context, providing a bed was a gesture of hospitality and care. It underscores the importance of physical rest and the provision of comfort during times of distress, aligning with the biblical theme of God providing rest for His people.

basins
The Hebrew word for "basins" is "סַף" (saf), which can refer to a bowl or a container used for washing or holding liquids. Basins were crucial for maintaining cleanliness and hygiene, especially in a camp setting. This provision highlights the practical needs of David and his men, reminding us of the importance of cleanliness and order in our lives, both physically and spiritually.

pottery
Pottery in ancient times was a common household item used for storage and cooking. The mention of pottery indicates the provision of essential tools for daily living. It symbolizes the practical and mundane aspects of life that are necessary for survival, reminding us that God cares for even the smallest details of our lives.

wheat
Wheat was a staple grain in the ancient diet, representing sustenance and life. The provision of wheat signifies the basic need for nourishment and God's provision of daily bread. It echoes the biblical theme of God as the provider of all our needs, both physical and spiritual.

barley
Barley, often considered a food for the poor, was another staple grain. Its inclusion here highlights the abundance and variety of God's provision. Barley was also used in offerings, symbolizing dedication and thanksgiving to God. This reminds us of the importance of gratitude and recognizing God's hand in our provision.

flour
Flour, made from ground wheat or barley, was used to make bread, a fundamental part of the diet. The mention of flour emphasizes the preparation and readiness to meet the needs of the people. It serves as a metaphor for spiritual nourishment, pointing to the Word of God as the bread of life.

roasted grain
Roasted grain was a convenient and nutritious food, often eaten by travelers. It represents sustenance that is ready to eat, highlighting the immediacy of God's provision. This provision reflects the biblical assurance that God meets our needs in the moment, providing strength and sustenance for our journey.

beans
Beans were a source of protein and nutrition, essential for maintaining strength and health. The inclusion of beans in the list of provisions underscores the completeness and balance of God's provision. It serves as a reminder of the diversity of God's creation and His care for our physical well-being.

lentils
Lentils, like beans, were a valuable source of nutrition. They were often used in stews and soups, providing warmth and sustenance. The mention of lentils highlights the importance of community meals and fellowship, reflecting the biblical theme of sharing and hospitality. It reminds us of the spiritual nourishment found in fellowship with others and with God.

Verse 28. - Beds. These would be for the women and children, and were scarcely more than rugs and small carpets. Basons; pots of metal for cooking, while the earthenware would be vessels for holding their food. Parched (corn) ... and parched (pulse); Hebrew, kali... and kali. The word includes all kinds of parched grain. The Septuagint and Syriac rightly omit it in the second place, as it is probably a mere error of some ancient copyist; but for what word it has been substituted we have no means of ascertaining.
