Now Barzillai was a very old man, eighty years of age — and he had provided the king with food while he stayed at Mahanaim, for he was a very wealthy man — The narrator introduces Barzillai as eighty years old and deeply rich. His great wealth enabled him to provide abundant provisions for David and his army. His age and generosity suggest a man of dignity and spiritual depth.
