2 Samuel 6:19

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 (Le 8:26). So, too, there is no doubt of the third; it means "a cake of raisins" (see So 2 Samuel 2:5 ; Hosea 3:1 , 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.
