Beans
Mentioned in 2 Sam 17:28 as having been brought to David when flying from Absalom. They formed a constituent in the bread Ezekiel (Ezek 4:9) was commanded to make, as they were in general much used as an article of diet. They are extensively cultivated in Egypt and Arabia and Syria.
From Easton’s Bible Dictionary (1897), by Matthew George Easton.
