Gill's Notes on the Bible
And honey and butter,.... Honey was much in use with the ancients; Homer b speaks of it as a part of the provisions at a feast, and as food with which persons were nourished and brought up; and the ancient Scythians lived on milk and honey c; and this and butter were pretty much the food of the people in Judea; see Isaiah 7:15;
and sheep; with which and goats the land of Gilead abounded; see Song of Solomon 4:1;
and cheese of kine: made of the milk of cows, as it commonly is:
for David, and for the people that [were] with him, to eat; and no doubt they brought wine with them for them to drink; the men that brought these, some brought one sort, and some another, or however different parcels of the same, and did not join in one present; for they came from different parts:
for they said, the people [is] hungry, and weary, and thirsty, in the wilderness; where they had been some time, and out of which they had just come, and so weary with travelling, and therefore brought beds to lie down and rest upon; and being hungry and thirsty, through want of bread and water in the wilderness, they brought them both eatables and drinkables; for though the latter is not expressed, it is to be understood, as the word "thirsty" supposes.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Cheese of kine - Or, as others, âmilch cows,â which is more in accordance with the context, being coupled with âsheep,â and is more or less borne out etymologically by the Arabic. Godâs care for David was evident in the kindness of these people.
