Commentary on 2 Samuel 17:28

Theological / Devotional

Beds, and basons. Presents were brought to David of such things as would make life comfortable for him and his men in exile. This is an evidence of the natural friendliness of the Israelites living across the Jordan. They had been friendly to Saul and his house, as they now were to David.

Wheat, and barley. This list of foodstuffs gives an interesting picture of the diet then in common use among the Hebrews.

Parched pulse. Roasted grain. Not mentioned here in the LXX or Syriac.
