And he dealt among all the people, even among the whole multitude of Israel, as well to the women as men, to every one a cake of bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine. So all the people departed every one to his house.
And he gave out food to all the people, to everyone in the whole crowd of Israel, both women and men. He gave each person a loaf of bread, a portion of meat, and a bottle of wine. Then all the people went home to their houses.
David generously provided food and drink to everyone who came to celebrate, making sure no one went home hungry or empty-handed.
