And it came to pass, when David was come to Mahana´im, that Shobi the son of Nahash of Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and Machir the son of Am´mi-el of Lo–de´bar, and Barzil´lai the Gil´e-adite of Ro´gelim,
Now Barzil´lai was a very aged man, even fourscore years old: and he had provided the king of sustenance while he lay at Mahana´im; for he was a very great man.
Then said Ziba unto the king, According to all that my lord the king hath commanded his servant, so shall thy servant do. As for Mephib´osheth, said the king, he shall eat at my table, as one of the king's sons.
