2 Samuel 6:19 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

And he dealt among all the people, even among the whole multitude of Israel, as well to the women as men, to every one a cake of bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine. So all the people departed every one to his house. A cake of bread - Such as those which are baked without leaven, and are made very thin.

A good piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine - The words of flesh and of wine we add; they are not in the Hebrew. The Chaldee translates one part and one portion; but all the other versions understand the Hebrew as we do.
