SEV Biblia, Chapter 17:27
Y cuando David llegó a Mahanaim, Sobi hijo de Nahas de Rabá de los hijos de Amón, y Maquir hijo de Amiel de Lodebar, y Barzilai galaadita de Rogelim,
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 27. And it came to pass, when David was come to Mahanaim , etc.] When he first came thither, ( 2 Samuel 17:24); that Shobi the son of Nahash of Rabbah of the children of Ammon : who was either the son, or rather the brother of Hanun king of the Ammonites, that used David’s ambassadors in so shameful a manner, whom David overcame and deposed, and set up this brother in his room; who had showed his dislike of his brother’s conduct, and now makes a grateful return to David for his favours; though some say this was Hanun himself, as Jarchi, now become a proselyte, which is not so likely; others take this man to be an Israelite that continued in Rabbah, the metropolis of the Ammonites, after it was taken by David: and Machir the son of Ammiel of Lodebar ; the same that brought up Mephibosheth, from whom David received him and took him off of his hands, for which now he requited him, (see 2 Samuel 9:5); and Barzillai the Gileadite of Rogelim ; a place that lay under the hills of Gilead f297 ; it had its name from the “fullers” who dwelt here for the convenience of fountains of water to wash their clothes in.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 22-29 - Ahithophel hanged himself for vexation that his counsel was no followed. That will break a proud man's heart which will not break humble man's sleep. He thought himself in danger, concluding, that because his counsel was not followed, Absalom's cause would fail; an to prevent a possible public execution, he does justice upon himself Thus the breath is stopped, and the head laid low, from which nothin could be expected but mischief. Absalom chased his father. But observ how God sometimes makes up to his people that comfort from strangers which they are disappointed of in their own families. Our King need not our help; but he assures us, that what we do for the least of his brethren, who are sick, poor, and destitute, shall be accepted an recompensed as if done to himsel __________________________________________________________________
