The act of distributing food to every man and woman signifies inclusivity and equality, reflecting the communal nature of Israelite society. This event occurs during the celebration of bringing the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem, a significant religious and national event. The distribution of food can be seen as a form of fellowship and unity among the people, reminiscent of the communal meals in the early Christian church (<a href="/acts/2-46.htm">Acts 2:46</a>).a loaf of bread, a date cake, and a raisin cake These items were common in ancient Israel and hold symbolic significance. Bread is a staple food, representing sustenance and life, and is often used in biblical texts to symbolize God's provision (<a href="/exodus/16-4.htm">Exodus 16:4</a>). Date cakes and raisin cakes were considered delicacies, indicating a time of celebration and abundance. The inclusion of these items suggests a festive atmosphere and the joy of the occasion. The provision of these foods can also be seen as a precursor to the messianic banquet, a theme found in prophetic literature (<a href="/isaiah/25-6.htm">Isaiah 25:6</a>).And all the people departed, each to his own home This phrase indicates the conclusion of the communal celebration, with each person returning to their daily life. It reflects the orderly nature of the event and the satisfaction of the people after receiving both spiritual and physical nourishment. The return to their homes signifies peace and contentment, as well as the successful integration of the Ark into the life of Israel. This moment can be compared to the peace and fulfillment believers find in Christ, who provides both spiritual and physical sustenance (<a href="/john/6-35.htm">John 6:35</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/d/david.htm">David</a> The King of Israel who orchestrated the return of the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem.

The phrase "a flagon of wine" (used also in <a href="/1_chronicles/16-3.htm" title="And he dealt to every one of Israel, both man and woman, to every one a loaf of bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine.">1Chronicles 16:3</a>; <a href="/songs/2-5.htm" title="Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I am sick of love.">Song of Solomon 2:5</a>; <a href="/hosea/3-1.htm" title="Then said the LORD to me, Go yet, love a woman beloved of her friend, yet an adulteress, according to the love of the LORD toward the children of Israel, who look to other gods, and love flagons of wine.">Hosea 3:1</a>) should be translated "a cluster of grapes or raisins."<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/2_samuel/6.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 19. - A cake of bread, and a good piece... and a flagon. Of the first of the three gifts there is no doubt. It was the round dough cake baked for sacrificial meals (<a href="/leviticus/8-26.htm">Leviticus 8:26</a>). So, too, there is no doubt of the third; it means "a cake of raisins" (see <a href="/songs/2-5.htm">Song of Solomon 2:5</a>; <a href="/hosea/3-1.htm">Hosea 3:1</a>, in which latter place raisins, or dried grapes, are expressly mentioned, boldly rendered in the Authorized Version "wine"). The Revised Version has given the correct rendering of the passage. The second word occurs only here, but the rendering of the Authorized Version is that of the Jews; and as it is some common domestic term not likely to be found in literature, but well known in every kitchen, they are most probably right. On the same sort of local authority Jerome renders it in the Vulgate "a piece of beef for roasting." As it is coupled with the bread and the raisin cake, we may feel sure that it was a portion of the flesh of the animals which had been killed in Sacrifice, and which the people were now permitted to take to their homes. <a href="/commentaries/2_samuel/6-19.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>Then he distributed וַיְחַלֵּ֨ק (way·ḥal·lêq) Conjunctive waw | Verb -
