David Finds Refuge East of Jordan

2 Samuel 17:24-29

David had reached Machanayim by the time Avshalom and all the men of Isra'el crossed the Yarden.

Avshalom had put 'Amasa in charge of the army in place of Yo'av. 'Amasa was the son of a man whose name was Yitra the Isra'eli, who had had sexual relations with Avigal the daughter of Nachash, Tz'ruyah's sister and Yo'av's mother.

Isra'el and Avshalom pitched camp in the land of Gil'ad.

After David had arrived in Machanayim, Shovi the son of Nachash, from Rabbah of the people of 'Amon; Machir the son of 'Ammi'el from Lo-D'var and Barzillai the Gil'adi from Roglim

brought beds, basins, clay pots, wheat, barley, flour, roasted grain, beans, lentils, roasted millet,

honey, curdled milk, sheep and cheese made of cow's milk for David and the people with him to eat; because they said, "These people are hungry, tired and thirsty from the desert."
