And honey, and butter, and sheep, and cheese of kine, for David, and for the people that were with him, to eat: for they said, The people is hungry, and weary, and thirsty, in the wilderness.

Verse 29 is found in chapter 17 of 2 Samuel. David crosses the Jordan and establishes his camp at Mahanaim. Meanwhile, Ahithophel, realizing that his counsel was not followed, returns to his city, puts his affairs in order, and hangs himself. The counselor’s death shows the seriousness of the political defeat he perceives. David, by contrast, receives provisions from various allies. The section contrasts despair and hope, showing that the rebellion has not yet determined the final outcome.

du miel, de la crème, des brebis, et des fromages de vache. Ils apportèrent ces choses à David et au peuple qui était avec lui, afin qu'ils mangeassent; car ils disaient: Ce peuple a dû souffrir de la faim, de la fatigue et de la soif, dans le désert.
e miele, e butirro, e pecore, e caci di vacca; perciocchè dissero: Questa gente ha patito fame, e stanchezza, e sete, nel deserto
E mel, e manteiga, e ovelhas, e queijos de vacas, e os trouxeram a Davi e ao povo que com ele estava, para comerem, porque disseram: Este povo no deserto está faminto, cansado e sedento.
