2 Samuel 17:24-29 ▼

24 And David went to Mahanaim, and Absalom passed over the Jordan—he and all the men of Israel with him.

25 And Absalom had appointed Amasa instead of Joab Captain of the army. And Amasa was son of a man, and his name was Ithra the Ishmaelite, who had gone in to Abigail the daughter of Nahash, sister of Zeruiah, mother of Joab.

26 And Israel and Absalom encamped in the land of Gilead.

27 And it came to pass, when David had come to Mahanaim, that Shobi son of Nahash from Rabbah of the sons of Ammon, and Machir son of Ammiel from Lo-Debar, and Barzillai the Gileadite from Rogelim,

28 beds, and basins, and earthen vessels, and wheat, and barley, and flour, and parched, and beans, and lentils,

29 and honey, and curds, and sheep, and cheese of the herd, they brought near for David and the people who were with him to eat. For they said, “The people are hungry and weary and thirsty in the wilderness.”
