Definitions for 2-samuel 17:29
Barnes's 2-samuel 17:29 Bible Commentary
Cheese of kine - Or, as others, "milch cows," which is more in accordance with the context, being coupled with "sheep," and is more or less borne out etymologically by the Arabic. God's care for David was evident in the kindness of these people.
Wesley's 2-samuel 17:29 Bible Commentary
17:29 In - Having been in the wilderness. Thus God sometimes makes up to his people that comfort from strangers, which they are disappointed of in their own families.
