2 Samuel 17:23-29

« 2 Sam 162 Sam 172 Sam 18 »

23 Now Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not ¹followed. So he ²saddled his donkey and arose and went to his home, to ^ahis city, and ³^bset his house in order, and ^cstrangled himself; thus he died and was buried in the grave of his father.
24 Now David came to ^aMahanaim. And Absalom crossed the Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him. 25 And Absalom set ^aAmasa over the army in place of Joab. Now Amasa was the son of a man whose name was ¹Ithra the Israelite, who went in to Abigail the daughter of ^bNahash, sister of Zeruiah, Joab’s mother. 26 And Israel and Absalom camped in the land of Gilead.
27 Now it happened that when David had come to Mahanaim, Shobi ^athe son of Nahash from ^bRabbah of the sons of Ammon, ^cMachir the son of Ammiel from Lo-debar, and ^dBarzillai the Gileadite from Rogelim, 28 brought ^abeds, basins, pottery, wheat, barley, flour, roasted grain, beans, lentils, roasted seeds, 29 honey, curds, sheep, and cheese of the herd, for David and for the people who were with him, ^ato eat; for they said, “The people are hungry and weary and thirsty in the wilderness.”
