Bean - phaseolus vulgaris - Samuel 17:28
Broad beans remind us of hospitality. "When David came to Mahanaim, Shobi ... brought ... beans and lentils .. for David and the people with him to eat for they said, 'The troops are hungry...'“ The ingredients of pulse on which the young Daniel and his companions thrived most probably included lentils, peas and beans, and it proved to be a more health giving diet than the rich foods of the court of Babylon.
