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.
