After the death of Absalom, Barzillai was invited to spend the remainder of his life with the king; but he refused, and sent his son [[Chimham]] in his stead. From the mention of "the habitation of Chimham, which is by Beth-lehem" ( Jeremiah 41:17 the King James Version), it has been inferred that Chimham received a grant of land from David's patrimony at Bethlehem, which retained his name for at least four centuries. It has been suggested that his name was probably [[Ahinoam]] ( אחינעם , <i> ''''''ăḥı̄nō‛am''''' </i> ). </p> | |||

<p> 2 Samuel 19:34; 2 Samuel 19:37-40. Taken by [[David]] to court, instead of [[Barzillai]] the Gileadite, his father, to whom the king owed a debt of gratitude for help in his flight from Absalom. In Jeremiah 41:17, ages after, the [[Jewish]] refugees from the [[Babylonians]] "dwelt in the habitation of Chimham, which is by Bethlehem, to go to enter into Egypt." David's patrimony was at Bethlehem; and this incidental notice leads to the inference that, having undertaken to provide for Chimham, he conferred on him his personal patrimony, subject to the reversion to David's heirs at the year of Jubilee; hence it was called "the habitation of Chimham." </p> | |||

<p> (Hebrews Kimham ´, כַּמְהָם , pining; Sept. Χιμαάμ v. r. Χαμαάμ ) , a follower, and probably a son (Joseph. Ἀχίμανος, Ant. 7:11, 4; and comp. 1 Kings 2:7) of [[Barzillai]] the Gileadite, who returned in his stead from beyond [[Jordan]] with [[David]] on his restoration after Absalom's rebellion ( 2 Samuel 19:37-38; 2 Samuel 19:40, which last verse gives the name as כַּמְהָן, Kimhan ´). B.C. 1023. David appears to have bestowed on him, as a reward for his loyalty, a possession at Bethlehem, on which, in later times, an inn or khan ( גֵּרוּה ), called after him (Sept. Γηβηρωθχαμάαμ; Vulg. peregrinantes in Chamaam; A. V. "habitation of Chimham;" the text has the name כַּמְוֹהָם, i.e. כְּמוּהם, Kemuham ´; Sept. v. r. Γαβαηρωχάμα, γῇ Βαρὼθ Χαμάαμ, etc.), was standing, well known as the starting-point for travelers from [[Jerusalem]] to [[Egypt]] ( Jeremiah 41:17). Blunt notices in this mention of the dwelling of [[Chimham]] at [[Bethlehem]] an indication of the actual munificence of David to the family of Barzillai, for which we are prepared by the narrative in Samuel and Kings (Undesigned Coincidences, 6th ed. p. 150). (See [[Inn]]). </p> | |||
