King James Bible - 2 Samuel 16:2

And the king said unto Ziba, What meanest thou by these? And Ziba said, The asses be for the king's household to ride on; and the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat; and the wine, that such as be faint in the wilderness may drink.

World English Bible

The king said to Ziba, What do you mean by these? Ziba said, The donkeys are for the king's household to ride on; and the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat; and the wine, that such as are faint in the wilderness may drink.

Douay-Rheims - 2 Samuel 16:2

And the king said to Siba: What mean these things? And Siba answered: The asses are for the king's household to sit on: and the loaves and the figs for thy servants to eat, and the wine to drink if any man be faint in the desert.

Webster's Bible Translation

And the king said to Ziba, What meanest thou by these? And Ziba said, The asses are for the king's household to ride on; and the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat; and the wine, that such as are faint in the wilderness may drink.

SEV Biblia, Chapter 16:2

Y dijo el rey a Siba: ¿Qué es esto? Y Siba respondió: Los asnos son para la familia del rey, en que suban; los panes y la pasa para que coman los criados, y el vino, para que beban los que se cansaren en el desierto.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Samuel 16:2

Verse 2. The asses be for the king's household] This is the Eastern method of speaking when any thing is presented to a great man: "This and this is for the slaves of the
servants of your majesty," when at the same time the presents are intended for the sovereign himself, and are so understood. It is a high Eastern compliment: These presents are not worthy of your acceptance; they are only fit for the slaves of your slaves.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 2. And the king said unto Ziba, what meanest thou by these ? etc.] Are they to be said, or are they presents? and Ziba said, the asses [be] for the king’s household to ride on ; for himself, his
wives, and children, his courtiers, and the principal officers of his house; it being usual in those times and countries for great personages to ride on asses, (see Judges 5:10); and the bread and summer fruits for the young men to eat ; the king’s menial servants, his guards and his soldiers: and the wine, that such as be faint in the wilderness may drink ; where no water was to be had, that their fainting spirits might be revived, and they be able whether to fight or march.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 1-4 - Ziba belied Mephibosheth. Great men ought always to be
jealous of flatterers, and to be careful that they hear both sides.
