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 Ezr 2:61 and Neh 7:63).

Poole: 1Ki 2:7 - -- Quest Why doth he not require the like kindness to Mephibosheth the son of his dear Jonathan? Answ Either he and his were now extinct, or by their ...

Quest Why doth he not require the like kindness to Mephibosheth the son of his dear Jonathan?

Answ Either he and his were now extinct, or by their after-miscarriages had forfeited his favour.

For so i.e. with such kindness either as I cannot express, (as the particle so is elsewhere used,) or as I command thee to show to them.

They i.e. Barzillai and his sons; for though Barzillai only be mentioned, 2Sa 17:27 , yet his sons doubtless were instrumental in the business, especially Chimham, 2Sa 19:37,38 .

Haydock: 1Ki 2:7 - -- Table, or of the meat, which had been served upon it; as was the custom at the court of Persia, Daniel i. 5. --- Brother. See 2 Kings xix. 31. (C...

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.
