Barzillai = of iron (hearted)
Gileadite one who is a powerful witness
"A Gileadite of Rogelim who was distinguished for his loyalty to David.
He liberally provided for the king's followers " 2 Sam 17:27.
David on his death-bed, remembering his kindness, commended
Barzillai's children to the care of Solomon " 1 Ki 2:7.
This is the fragrance of the older saints that have never been asked
to do great things for the King
but have been ever faithful and steadfast witnesses
to God's choice of rulership.
They serve with silence and with all
that they possess to the glory of God.
"And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in
due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. "Gal 6:9
