BARZILLAI.1. The name of a chieftain of Gilead who brought supplies to David and his army at Mahanaim (2Sa_17:27 ff.). After the death of Absalom, Barzillai went across Jordan with the king, but declined to go to court (2Sa_19:31 ff.). On his deathbed David charged Solomon to shew kindness to the sons of Barzillai (1Ki_2:7). His descendants are mentioned in Ezr_2:51, Neh_7:63; Neh_7:2. The Meholathite whose son Adriel is said (2Sa_21:8) to have married Michal [read Merab, cf. 1Sa_18:19], the daughter of Saul.

("iron".) A Gileadite chief. of Rogelim, whose friendship David probably made during his flight from Saul in that trans-Jordanic region. He ministered disinterestedly, sympathizingly, and liberally, to David's wants during the whole time of his stay at, Mahanaim in his flight from Absalom (2Sa_17:27-29; 2Sa_19:32-40). David in prosperity did not forget the friend of his adversity: "Come thou over with me, and I will feed thee with me in Jerusalem." But Barzillai was unmercenary, and sought his reward simply in having done his duty.
Instead of grasping at honors and favors at court, he remembers his age, fourscore, "How long have I to live, that I should go P" and prefers to die among his own people, independent though in less grandeur. In the father's stead Chimham and other sons of his shared David's favor, and were commended by him to Solomon (1Ki_2:7). Chimham's name appears ages subsequently in Jeremiah's time, "the habitation of Chimham by Bethlehem" being the gift of David to him out of his own patrimony, and bearing that name to late generations: an undesigned coincidence and mark of truth (Jer_41:17). (See BETHLEHEM.)

bar-zil?ā̇-ı̄, bar-zil?ı̄ (בּרזלּי, bārzillay; Βερζελλί, Berzellı́, ?man of iron? (BDB, but compare Cheyne, Encyclopedia Biblica)):
(1) A Gileadite of Rogelim who brought provisions to David and his army to Mahanaim, in their flight from Absalom (2Sa_17:27-29). When David was returning to Jerusalem after Absalom's defeat, Barzillai conducted him over Jordan, but being an old man of 80 years of age, he declined David's invitation to come to live in the capital, and sent instead his son Chimham (2Sa_19:31-39). David before his death charged Solomon to ?show kindness unto the sons of Barzillai.? (1Ki_2:7). Cheyne in Encyclopedia Biblica, without giving any reason, differentiates this Barzillai from Barzillai the Gileadite (Ezr_2:61 = Neh_7:63). See (2) below.
(2) The father of a family of priests who in Ezra's time, after the return of the exiles, could not trace their genealogy. ?Therefore were they deemed polluted and put from the priesthood.? This Barzillai had taken ?a wife of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite,? and had adopted his wife's family name (Ezr_2:61, Ezr_2:62 = Neh_7:63, Neh_7:64). His original name is given as Jaddus (the King James Version Addus) (1 Esdras 5:38). (See ZORZELLEUS; the Revised Version, margin ?Phaezeldaeus.?)
(3) Barzillai the Meholathite, whose son Adriel was married to Saul's daughter, either Michal (2Sa_21:8) or Merab (1Sa_18:19).

Barzil?lai, a wealthy old Gileadite of Rogelim, who distinguished himself by his loyalty when David fled beyond the Jordan from his son Absalom. He sent in a liberal supply of provisions, beds, and other conveniences for the use of the king's followers (2Sa_17:27; 2Sa_19:32). On the king's triumphant return, Barzillai attended him as far as the Jordan, but declined, by reason of his advanced age, to proceed to Jerusalem and receive the favors to which he had entitled himself.

Barzillai
(Heb. Barzillay', בִּרְזַלִּי, of iron, i.e. strong; Sept. Βερζελλί, but in Ezra Βερζελλαϊv, Josephus Βετζιλαῖος, Ant. 7:9, 8), the name of three men.
1. A Meholathite, father of Adriel, which latter was the second husband of Merab, Saul's daughter (2Sa_21:8). B.C. ante 1062.
2. A wealthy old Gileadite of Rogelim, who distinguished himself by his loyalty when David fled beyond the Jordan from his son Absalom, B.C. 1023 (see Ewald, Isr. Gesch. 3, 663 sq.). He sent in a liberal supply of provisions, beds, and other conveniences for the use of the king's followers (2Sa_17:27). On the king's triumphant return, Barzillai attended him as far as the Jordan, but declined, by reason of his advanced age (and probably, also, from a feeling of independence), to proceed to Jerusalem and end his days at court, merely recommending (his son) Chimham as a suitable person to receive the royal favors (2Sa_19:32; 2Sa_19:39). On his death-bed David recalled to mind this kindness, and commended Barzillai's children to the care of Solomon (1Ki_2:7).
3. A priest who married a descendant of the preceding, and assumed the same name; his genealogy in consequence became so confused that his descendants, on the return from the captivity, were set aside as unfit for the priesthood (Ezr_2:61). B.C. ante 536.
