Beans

Beans were a staple field crop, sturdy enough to be baked into siege bread alongside wheat and lentils. They were practical too — loyal supporters brought sacks of them to David’s exhausted army in the wilderness.

• “Brought beds, and basons, and earthen vessels, and wheat, and barley, and flour, and parched corn, and beans, and lentiles, and parched pulse,”

  2 Samuel 17:28

• “Take thou also unto thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentiles, and millet, and fitches, and put them in one vessel, and make thee bread thereof, according to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon thy side, three hundred and ninety days shalt thou eat thereof.”
