Contextual Overview

12 Now it was told to King David, "The Lord has brought good to the house of Obed-edom and all that belongs to him, because of the special box of God." So David went and brought the special box of God from Obed-edom's family into the city of David with joy. 13 When the men who carried the special box of the Lord had gone six steps, David killed and gave to the Lord a bull and a fat calf. 14 He was dancing before the Lord with all his strength. And he was wearing a linen vest. 15 So David and all those of the family of Israel were bringing the special box of the Lord with a loud voice and the sound of the horn. 16 As the special box of the Lord came into the city of David, Saul's daughter Michal looked out of the window. She saw King David jumping and dancing before the Lord, and she hated him in her heart. 17 They brought in the special box of the Lord and put it in its place inside the tent David had set up for it. And David gave burnt gifts and peace gifts to the Lord. 18 When he had finished giving the burnt gifts and peace gifts, David prayed that good would come to the people in the name of the Lord of All. 19 Then he gave a loaf of bread, a loaf of dates and a loaf of dried grapes to each man and woman of all the people of Israel. And all the people went home.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And he dealt among all the people,.... Gave a dole unto them, divided among them:

[even] among the whole multitude of Israel: and if there were so many as at first, there were thirty thousand of them, 2 Samuel 6:1; and perhaps more, since it follows:

as well to the women as men; to both the one and the other; and the women, it is very probable, were not among those that went to fetch the ark, but assembled to attend the entrance of it into the city, and were present at the solemnities of its settlement:

to everyone a cake of bread; or a loaf of bread, of what quantity is not said, no doubt sufficient for anyone person, or more:

and a good piece [of flesh]: not only that was good in quality, but large in quantity, a very large piece of it; the Jews say s the sixth part of a bullock, they dividing it into six parts as we into four quarters; but it is not likely that such a quantity of flesh should be given to each person;

and a flagon [of wine]; but what such a vessel held cannot be said, though at least we may suppose it equal to a bottle of ours, or more; see Song of Solomon 2:5;

so all the people departed everyone to his house; to refresh themselves with the provisions David had given them.

s T. Bab. Pesachim, fol. 36. 3.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

A good piece of flesh - The word thus paraphrased is only found here and in marginal reference A piece of meat from the peace offerings is probably meant. From the fact that the chronicler explains the preceding cake by the more common word loaf, but leaves this obscure word unexplained, one might infer that it was already obsolete and unknown in his time. The Septuagint translates it: “a cake baked on the hearth;” the Vulgate “a piece of roast beef.”

A flagon of wine - Rather, “a cake” of grapes or raisins Hosea 3:1; Song of Solomon 2:5, or made with oil or mead.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Samuel 6:19. 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.
