"Now Barzillai the Gileadite had come down from Rogelim; and he went on to the Jordan with the king to escort him over the Jordan."
This one Barzillai was one to come along side and give aid to David and his band as they were on the run from Absolom. He had supplied much food and drygoods, along with linens and utensils. Though advanced in age, he still stood by as one available in the service of the Lord. David would go onto encouraging him to come and enjoy his hospitality in Jerusalem, yet he would graciously refuse the kings invitation. He was one who was quite satisfied with where God had him. No fancy courts of the royal palace, or the extragance of royal oppulence, but humbly worshipping, waiting on the Lord's next set of instructions, content where he was at. We're never told how long this man lived, but we can only surmise that he was one who lived loving the Lord, in service and worship of Him.
