2 Samuel 17:21-29

21It came about after they had departed, that they came up out of the well and went and reported to King David; and they said to David, “1Set out and cross over the water quickly, because this is what Ahithophel has advised against you.” 22Then David and all the people who were with him set out and crossed the Jordan; by 2dawn not even one remained who had not crossed the Jordan.

23Now when Ahithophel saw that his advice had not been 3followed, he saddled his donkey and set out and went to his home, to 4his city, and 56set his house in order, and 7hanged himself; so he died and was buried in his father’s grave.

24Then David came to 8Mahanaim. And Absalom crossed the Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him. 25Absalom put 9Amasa 10in command of the army in place of Joab. Now Amasa was the son of a man whose name was 11Ithra the Israelite, who 12had relations with Abigail the daughter of 13Nahash, sister of Zeruiah, Joab’s mother. 26And Israel and Absalom camped in the land of Gilead.

27Now when David had come to Mahanaim, Shobi 14the son of Nahash from 15Rabbah of the sons of Ammon, 16Machir the son of Ammiel from Lo-debar, and 17Barzillai the Gileadite from Rogelim, 28brought 18beds, basins, pottery, wheat, barley, flour, roasted grain, beans, lentils, roasted seeds, 29honey, curds, sheep, and cheese of the herd, for David and the people who were with him, 19to eat. For they said, “The people are hungry and exhausted and thirsty in the wilderness.”
