Context: Rogelim is a town located in the region of Gilead, east of the Jordan River. It is primarily known from the biblical account in 2 Samuel 17:27, where it is identified as the home of Barzillai the Gileadite. Barzillai is described as a wealthy and influential man who, along with others, brought supplies to King David and his followers when they fled from Absalom. The town's name, Rogelim, is thought to be derived from the Hebrew root רָגַל (ragal), which can mean "to walk" or "to spy," possibly indicating a location associated with travelers or scouts. The exact location of Rogelim is not definitively known today, but it is traditionally placed within the territory of Gilead, a region known for its rugged terrain and strategic importance in ancient Israel.
