Parallel

2 Samuel 16:2

Westminster Leningrad Codex · Berean Standard Bible

וַיֹּ֧אמֶר הַמֶּ֛לֶךְ אֶל־ צִיבָ֖א מָה־ אֵ֣לֶּה לָּ֑ךְ וַיֹּ֣אמֶר צִ֠יבָא הַחֲמוֹרִ֨ים לְבֵית־ הַמֶּ֜לֶךְ לִרְכֹּ֗ב וּלְהַלֶּחֶם וְהַקַּ֙יִץ֙ לֶאֱכ֣וֹל הַנְּעָרִ֔ים וְהַיַּ֕יִן לִשְׁתּ֥וֹת הַיָּעֵ֖ף בַּמִּדְבָּֽר׃
“Why do you have these?” asked the king. Ziba replied, “The donkeys are for the king’s household to ride, the bread and summer fruit are for the young men to eat, and the wine is to refresh those who become exhausted in the wilderness.”
