KJV - 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.
The king asked Ziba about his actions, and Ziba explained that the donkeys were for the royal family to ride, the food was for the young men to eat, and the wine was for those who might get tired in the desert to drink.
