The provision of beds indicates a concern for their rest and comfort, which was crucial during their flight from Absalom. Basins and earthen vessels suggest the necessity of maintaining hygiene and storing food and water, reflecting the hospitality and care extended to them. In the ancient Near East, such items were essential for daily life, and their provision underscores the generosity and support of David's allies. This act of kindness can be seen as a fulfillment of the biblical principle of caring for those in distress, as seen in passages like <a href="/proverbs/19-17.htm">Proverbs 19:17</a>, which speaks of lending to the Lord by giving to the poor.<p><b>as well as wheat, barley, flour, roasted grain, beans, lentils</b><br>The mention of these specific food items provides insight into the diet and agricultural practices of ancient Israel. Wheat and barley were staple grains, essential for making bread, a fundamental part of the diet. Flour, derived from these grains, was used in various forms of baking. Roasted grain was a common snack or meal, often eaten during harvest time, as seen in <a href="/ruth/2-14.htm">Ruth 2:14</a>. Beans and lentils were important sources of protein, especially in a culture where meat was not consumed daily. The provision of these foods not only met immediate physical needs but also symbolized sustenance and life, echoing God's provision for His people throughout the Bible, such as the manna in the wilderness (Exodus 16). This act of provision can also be seen as a type of Christ, who is the Bread of Life (<a href="/john/6-35.htm">John 6:35</a>), offering spiritual sustenance to all who come to Him.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/d/david.htm">David</a></b><br>The anointed king of Israel, currently in a time of distress and fleeing from his son Absalom, who has usurped the throne.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/a/absalom.htm">Absalom</a></b><br>David's son, who has rebelled against his father and declared himself king, causing David to flee Jerusalem.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/m/mahanaim.htm">Mahanaim</a></b><br>A city in the territory of Gilead, east of the Jordan River, where David sought refuge during Absalom's rebellion.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/s/shobi,_machir,_and_barzillai.htm">Shobi, Machir, and Barzillai</a></b><br>Supporters of David who provided for him and his people during their time of need.
