Context — Hushai’s Warning Saves David
27When David came to Mahanaim, he was met by Shobi son of Nahash from Rabbah of the Ammonites, Machir son of Ammiel from Lo-debar, and Barzillai the Gileadite from Rogelim.
28They brought beds, basins, and earthen vessels, as well as wheat, barley, flour, roasted grain, beans, lentils,
29honey, curds, sheep, and cheese from the herd for David and his people to eat. For they said, “The people have become hungry, exhausted, and thirsty in the wilderness.”

2 Samuel 17:29 Summary
This verse shows how some friends of David, Shobi, Machir, and Barzillai, brought him and his people food and supplies when they were hungry, tired, and thirsty. They wanted to help take care of their needs, just like God takes care of us when we are in need (as seen in Matthew 6:25-34). This teaches us the importance of being kind and generous to others, and trusting that God will provide for us. By showing hospitality and compassion to others, we can reflect God's love and care for us, as seen in 1 John 3:17-18.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the significance of the gifts brought to David in 2 Samuel 17:29?
The gifts of honey, curds, sheep, and cheese from the herd signify the kindness and generosity of Shobi, Machir, and Barzillai towards David and his people, as seen in 2 Samuel 17:27-28, and demonstrate God's provision for them in their time of need, as promised in Psalm 37:3-4.
Why did the people say that David's men had become hungry, exhausted, and thirsty in the wilderness?
The people recognized the physical and emotional toll of David's men due to their time in the wilderness, and they sought to provide for their needs, as God had provided for the Israelites in the wilderness in Exodus 16:4 and Deuteronomy 8:3-4.
How does this verse relate to the concept of hospitality in the Bible?
This verse demonstrates the importance of showing hospitality to those in need, as seen in Hebrews 13:2 and Matthew 25:35, and highlights the generosity and kindness of Shobi, Machir, and Barzillai towards David and his people.
What can we learn from the example of Shobi, Machir, and Barzillai in this verse?
We can learn the value of kindness, generosity, and loyalty, as seen in Proverbs 19:17 and Matthew 10:42, and be encouraged to show hospitality and compassion to those around us, especially those in need or struggling.
Reflection Questions
- How can I show kindness and generosity to those around me, especially those in need or struggling?
- What are some ways that God has provided for me in my own times of need, and how can I express gratitude for His provision?
- How can I balance my own physical and emotional needs with the needs of those around me, and trust God to provide for me in the process?
- What does this verse teach me about the importance of community and mutual support, and how can I cultivate deeper relationships with others?
Gill's Exposition on 2 Samuel 17:29
And honey and butter,.... Honey was much in use with the ancients; Homer (b) speaks of it as a part of the provisions at a feast, and as food with which persons were nourished and brought up; and the
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 2 Samuel 17:29
And honey, and butter, and sheep, and cheese of kine, for David, and for the people that were with him, to eat: for they said, The people is hungry, and weary, and thirsty, in the wilderness.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on 2 Samuel 17:29
i.e. Having been in the wilderness; which is an easy and common ellipsis. Or, because of (so the Hebrew particle beth is oft used) the wilderness, which they have passed through, in which provisions are very scarce.
Ellicott's Commentary on 2 Samuel 17:29
(29) Cheese of kine.—A word occurring only here, and of uncertain meaning. The English follows the Chald., Syr., and Rabbinic interpretation; the Vulg. has “fat calves,” and Theod. “sucking calves.”
Cambridge Bible on 2 Samuel 17:29
29. butter] Curdled milk is probably meant, called leben by the modern Arabs, and greatly esteemed as a refreshing drink. Cp. Judges 5:25. cheese of kine] So the Targum explains a word which occurs here only. The Vulg. gives fat calves, which agrees better with the position of the word after sheep. The people is hungry] The people hath got hungry, &c., in their passage through the wilderness.
Barnes' Notes on 2 Samuel 17:29
Cheese of kine - Or, as others, “milch cows,” which is more in accordance with the context, being coupled with “sheep,” and is more or less borne out etymologically by the Arabic.
