2 Samuel 17:23-29

23Now when Ahithophel saw that his advice had not been 1followed, he saddled his donkey and set out and went to his home, to 2his city, and 34set his house in order, and 5hanged himself; so he died and was buried in his father’s grave.

24Then David came to 6Mahanaim. And Absalom crossed the Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him. 25Absalom put 7Amasa 8in command of the army in place of Joab. Now Amasa was the son of a man whose name was 9Ithra the Israelite, who 10had relations with Abigail the daughter of 11Nahash, sister of Zeruiah, Joab’s mother. 26And Israel and Absalom camped in the land of Gilead.

27Now when David had come to Mahanaim, Shobi 12the son of Nahash from 13Rabbah of the sons of Ammon, 14Machir the son of Ammiel from Lo-debar, and 15Barzillai the Gileadite from Rogelim, 28brought 16beds, 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, 17to eat. For they said, “The people are hungry and exhausted and thirsty in the wilderness.”
