and Chimham
Kimham (כִּמְהָם) is a proper masculine personal name referring to an individual, specifically the son of Barzillai the Gileadite, who is mentioned as receiving favor from King David after the events surrounding Absalom's revolt. The primary meaning is the personal name of a historical individual; the semantic range is limited to use as a proper noun, but possibly derives secondarily from the verb 'to long,' 'to yearn,' or 'to desire,' reflecting a positive parental aspiration.
