Usage: Barzillai is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It refers to several individuals, most notably a Gileadite who supported King David. Context: Barzillai is a significant figure in the Old Testament, appearing in the narrative of King David's reign. He is primarily known as Barzillai the Gileadite, a wealthy and influential man from Rogelim in Gilead. During Absalom's rebellion, Barzillai provided substantial support to David and his followers while they were in Mahanaim, supplying them with food and other necessities (2 Samuel 17:27-29). His loyalty and generosity were acknowledged by David, who invited him to come to Jerusalem. However, Barzillai, being advanced in age, declined the offer, preferring to remain in his homeland. Instead, he sent his servant Chimham to accompany David (2 Samuel 19:31-39).
