Context — Michal’s Contempt for David
17So they brought the ark of the LORD and set it in its place inside the tent that David had pitched for it. Then David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.
18When David had finished sacrificing the burnt offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD of Hosts.
19Then he distributed to every man and woman among the multitude of Israel a loaf of bread, a date cake, and a raisin cake. And all the people departed, each to his own home.
20When David returned home to bless his own household, Saul’s daughter Michal came out to meet him. “How the king of Israel has distinguished himself today!” she said. “He has uncovered himself today in the sight of the maidservants of his subjects, like a vulgar person would do.” 21But David said to Michal, “I was dancing before the LORD, who chose me over your father and all his house when He appointed me ruler over the LORD’s people Israel.

Gill's Exposition on 2 Samuel 6:19
And he dealt among all the people,.... Gave a dole unto them, divided among them: [even] among the whole multitude of Israel: and if there were so many as at first, there were thirty thousand of
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 2 Samuel 6:19
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.
Trapp's Commentary on 2 Samuel 6:19
2 Samuel 6:19 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.Ver. 19. And a flagon of wine.] For which Josephus hath a wafer cake, and the Vulgate similam frixam oleo, as if David had made the people a dry feast - such as the Papists make the people at the eucharist; but the word here used signifieth vas vinarium, a flagon.
Ellicott's Commentary on 2 Samuel 6:19
(19) A good piece of flesh.—A peculiar word, used only here and in 1 Chronicles 16:3, but the context shows that it is rightly interpreted in the English. The phrase “a flagon of wine” (used also in 1 Chronicles 16:3; Son 2:5; Hosea 3:1) should be translated “a cluster of grapes or raisins.”
Adam Clarke's Commentary on 2 Samuel 6:19
Verse 19. A cake of bread] Such as those which are baked without leaven, and are made very thin. A good piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine.] The words of flesh and of wine we add; they are not in the Hebrew. The Chaldee translates one part and one portion; but all the other versions understand the Hebrew as we do.
Cambridge Bible on 2 Samuel 6:19
19. dealt] In the old sense of divided or distributed, from A. S. dælan, to distribute, from which comes dole, a portion dealt out. Cp. Isaiah 58:7; Romans 12:3. a cake of bread] The Heb. word for cake occurs elsewhere only in the Pentateuch, and is always applied to cakes prepared for sacrificial purposes. a good piece of flesh] The word is only found elsewhere in the parallel passage of 1 Chr., and is of uncertain meaning. The most probable conjectures are (1) a piece of roast meat (Vulg.); (2) a portion of flesh; (3) a measure of wine. a flagon of wine] More probably, a cake of raisins.
Barnes' Notes on 2 Samuel 6:19
A good piece of flesh - The word thus paraphrased is only found here and in marginal reference A piece of meat from the peace offerings is probably meant.
