24Then David came to Mahanaim, and Absalom crossed the Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him.

25And Absalom set Amasa over the army in place of Joab. Now Amasa was the son of a man whose name was Ithra the Israelite, who had gone in to Abigail the daughter of Nahash, sister of Zeruiah, Joab’s mother.

26Israel and Absalom camped in the land of Gilead.

27When David came to Mahanaim, Shobi son of Nahash from Rabbah of the Ammonites, and Machir son of Ammiel from Lo-debar, and Barzillai the Gileadite from Rogelim,

28beds, basins, and pottery vessels, and wheat, barley, flour, roasted grain, beans, lentils, and parched grain.

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