2 Samuel 17:23-29

23Now when Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not 1followed, he 2saddled his donkey and arose and went to his home, to 3his city, and 45set his house in order, and 6strangled himself; thus he died and was buried in the grave of his father.

24Then David came to 7Mahanaim. And Absalom crossed the Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him. 25Absalom set 8Amasa over the army in place of Joab. Now Amasa was the son of a man whose name was 9Ithra the Israelite, who went in to Abigail the daughter of 10Nahash, sister of Zeruiah, Joab’s mother. 26And Israel and Absalom camped in the land of Gilead.

27Now when David had come to Mahanaim, Shobi 11the son of Nahash from 12Rabbah of the sons of Ammon, 13Machir the son of Ammiel from Lo-debar, and 14Barzillai the Gileadite from Rogelim, 28brought 15beds, basins, pottery, wheat, barley, flour, parched grain, beans, lentils, parched seeds, 29honey, curds, sheep, and cheese of the herd, for David and for the people who were with him, 16to eat; for they said, “The people are hungry and weary and thirsty in the wilderness.”
