Summary

In this verse, we see the aftermath of Absalom's rebellion against his father, King David. David, who had fled Jerusalem during the rebellion, is now returning to reclaim his throne. Barzillai, a wealthy and loyal supporter of David, had provided for him during his time of exile. Now, as David returns, he shows gratitude and honors Barzillai by inviting him to come back to Jerusalem with him. This act of recognition and appreciation highlights the importance of loyalty and the value of faithful supporters in times of trouble.
