1 Rois 2:7

Tu traiteras avec bienveillance les fils de Barzillaï, le Galaadite, et ils seront de ceux qui se nourrissent de ta table; car ils ont agi de la même manière à mon égard, en venant au-devant de moi lorsque je fuyais Absalom, ton frère.

Quant aux fils de Barzillaï, le Galaadite, tu useras de bonté à leur égard, et ils seront de ceux qui mangent à ta table; car c'est ainsi qu'ils sont venus vers moi, lorsque je fuyais devant Absalom, ton frère.
Darby's French Translation
Mais tu useras de bonté envers les fils de Barzillaï, le Galaadite, et ils seront de ceux qui mangent à ta table, car ils sont venus ainsi à ma rencontre, quand je m'enfuyais devant Absalom, ton frère.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

But show kindness to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite,.... Who perhaps was now dead, and therefore he would have kindness shown to his posterity for his sake:

and let them be of those that eat of thy table; as Mephibosheth had at his, who also perhaps was dead, since no notice is taken of him; and as David would have had Barzillai, but he desired to be excused on account of his age:

for so they came to me, when I fled because of thy brother, Absalom; that is, they came to him, not only Barzillai, but his sons it seems; and fed him or furnished him with provisions, when he was obliged to fly to the other side Jordan, because of the rebellion of his son Absalom.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

One of the sons of Barzillai here intended was probably Chimham (see the margin reference). Who the others were is not known. The family continued down to the return from the captivity, and still held property in Israel (compare Ezra 2:61 and Nehemiah 7:63).

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Kings 2:7. But show kindness unto the sons of Barzillai2 Samuel 19:31, &c.
