Let thy servant, I pray thee, turn back again, that I may die in mine own city, [and be buried] by the grave of my father and of my mother. But behold thy servant Chimham; let him go over with my lord the king; and do to him what shall seem good unto thee.

Chimham. There is no positive evidence as to the identity of Chimham, but from David’s charge to Solomon to “shew kindness unto the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite” (1 Kings 2:7), it would seem that he was a son of Barzillai. Mention is made in Jer. 41:17 of “the habitation of Chimham, which is by Beth-lehem,” from which it may be supposed that Chimham accepted David’s offer and received a home near Bethlehem.
