CHIMHAM.—Probably the son (cf. 1Ki_2:7) of Barzillai the Gileadite, who returned with David from beyond Jordan to Jerusalem after the death of Absalom (2Sa_19:31 f.). See, further, Geruth-chimham.
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
Edited by James Hastings, D.D. Published in 1909


2Sa_19:34; 2Sa_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 Jer_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."

Chim'ham. (longing). A follower and, probably, a son, of Barzillai, the Gileadite, who returned from beyond Jordan with David. 2Sa_19:37-38; 2Sa_19:40. (B C 1023). David appears to have bestowed on him a possession at Bethlehem, on which, in later times, an inn or khan was standing. Jer_41:17.

kim?ham (כּמהם, kimhām (2Sa_19:37, 2Sa_19:38) or כּמהן, kimhān (2Sa_19:40) or כּמוהם, kemōhem (Jer_41:17 Kt.); this reading, however, may probably be safely ignored): One of the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, who supported David while the latter was in exile in Mahanaim (2Sa_19:37). 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? (Jer_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, 'ăḥı̄nō‛am).

Chimham
(Hebrews Kimham´, כַּמְהָם, pining; Sept. Χιμαάμ v. r. Χαμαάμ), a follower, and probably a son (Joseph. Α᾿χίμανος, Ant. 7:11, 4; and comp. 1Ki_2:7) of Barzillai the Gileadite, who returned in his stead from beyond Jordan with David on his restoration after Absalom's rebellion (2Sa_19:37-38; 2Sa_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 (Jer_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).
