Theological / Devotional

Lo-debar. A place to the east of the Jordan, near Mahanaim (ch. 17:27-29). Machir was evidently a man of wealth and influence. Up till this time he had undoubtedly been secretly loyal to the house of Saul, giving refuge to the crippled son of Jonathan and his family. David was later to reap the fruit of his kindness to the house of Saul, for, when he fled from Absalom, Machir the son of Ammiel responded with liberality in supplying him and his army with the necessities of life (ch. 17:27-29).
