‏ 2 Samuel 17:27-29

v. 27-29: In Gilead, David met unexpected kindness from Shobi, Machir, and Barzillai. They brought beds, food, and supplies for David and his men, who were tired and hungry from their long journey (2 Samuel 17:27-29 a). Shobi was an Ammonite prince, Machir had once cared for Mephibosheth, and Barzillai was a wealthy man. Their generosity showed that God can use anyone to help His people, even strangers or those from different nations. This reminds us to do good to all men, as blessings often come back to those who show kindness (Galatians 6:10 b).
