The town of Geruth Chimham (41:17) may have been named after the Chimham mentioned in 2 Sam. 19:37-40 (see also "sons of Barzillai," 1 Kings 2:7), who apparently served King David in a time of great need. It was common for members of the royal court to be paid for their services in land rather than money.
