Ziba aunswered vnto the king, Behold he tarieth still at Hierusalem: For he sayde, This day shall the house of Israel restore me the kingdome of my father. 4 Then sayd the king to Ziba: Behold, thyne are all that pertayned vnto Miphiboseth. And Ziba sayde: I humbly beseche thee that I may finde grace in thy sight, my lorde O king.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And when David was a little past the top [of the hill],.... Of the mount of Olives, the ascent of which he is said to go up by, and to come to the top of it, 2 Samuel 15:30;

behold, Ziba, the servant of Mephibosheth, met him; of whom see 2 Samuel 9:2;

with a couple of asses saddled: and so fit to ride on, but for the present he used them to another purpose:

and upon them two hundred [loaves] of bread; an hundred on each ass very probably:

and an hundred bunches of raisins; or dried grapes, as the Targum:

and an hundred of summer fruits: not in number, but in weight, as apples, pears, plums, apricots, c. so the Targum, an hundred pounds of figs:

and a bottle of wine: a cask or flagon of wine for a bottle, such as is in use with us, would have signified nothing in such a company.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

A couple of donkeys saddled - Those that Mephibosheth and his servant should have ridden. See 2 Samuel 19:26 note.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER XVI

Ziba, servant of Mephibosheth, meets David with provisions, and

by false insinuations obtains the grant of his masters

property, 1-4.

Shimei abuses and curses David, who restrains Abishai from

slaying him, 5-14.

Hushai makes a feigned tender of his services to Absalom, 15-19.

Absalom calls a council and Ahithophel advises him to go in to

his father's concubines, 20-22.

Character of Ahithophel as a counselor, 23.

NOTES ON CHAP. XVI

Verse 2 Samuel 16:1. Two hundred loaves of bread — The word loaf gives us a false idea of the ancient Jewish bread; it was thin cakes, not yeasted and raised like ours.

Bunches of raisins — See on 1 Samuel 25:18.

Summer fruits — These were probably pumpions, cucumbers, or watermelons. The two latter are extensively used in those countries to refresh travellers in the burning heat of the summer. Mr. Harmer supposes they are called summer fruits on this very account.

A bottle of wine. — A goat's skin full of wine; this I have already shown was the general bottle in the Eastern countries; see on 1 Samuel 25:18.
