26Israel and Absalom camped in the land of Gilead. 27Now when David reached Mahanaim, Shobi son of Nahash of Rabbah of the children of Ammon, Machir son of Ammiel of Lo-debar and Barzillai the Gileadite of Rogelim brought beds, basins, clay pots, wheat, barley, flour, roasted grain, beans, lentils, parched seeds, 29honey, curd, sheep and cheese from the herd for David and for the people who were with him to eat. For they said, “The people must be hungry, weary and thirsty in the wilderness.”
