34 And he took H5375 and sent messes H4864 unto them from before him: H6440 but Benjamin's H1144 mess H4864 was five H2568 times H3027 so much as H7235 any of theirs. And they drank, H8354 and were merry H7937 with him.
To all of them he gave H5414 each man H376 changes H2487 of raiment; H8071 but to Benjamin H1144 he gave H5414 three H7969 hundred H3967 pieces of silver, H3701 and five H2568 changes H2487 of raiment. H8071
And Samuel H8050 took H3947 Saul H7586 and his servant, H5288 and brought H935 them into the parlour, H3957 and made them sit H5414 in the chiefest H7218 place H4725 among them that were bidden, H7121 which were about thirty H7970 persons. H376 And Samuel H8050 said H559 unto the cook, H2876 Bring H5414 the portion H4490 which I gave H5414 thee, of which I said H559 unto thee, Set H7760 it by thee. And the cook H2876 took up H7311 the shoulder, H7785 and that which was upon it, and set H7760 it before H6440 Saul. H7586 And Samuel said, H559 Behold that which is left! H7604 set H7760 it before H6440 thee, and eat: H398 for unto this time H4150 hath it been kept H8104 for thee since I said, H559 I have invited H7121 the people. H5971 So Saul H7586 did eat H398 with Samuel H8050 that day. H3117
A feast H3899 is made H6213 for laughter, H7814 and wine H3196 maketh merry: H8055 H2416 but money H3701 answereth H6030 all things.
I am come H935 into my garden, H1588 my sister, H269 my spouse: H3618 I have gathered H717 my myrrh H4753 with my spice; H1313 I have eaten H398 my honeycomb H3293 with my honey; H1706 I have drunk H8354 my wine H3196 with my milk: H2461 eat, H398 O friends; H7453 drink, H8354 yea, drink abundantly, H7937 O beloved. H1730
The Son G5207 of man G444 came G2064 eating G2068 and G2532 drinking, G4095 and G2532 they say, G3004 Behold G2400 a man G444 gluttonous, G5314 and G2532 a winebibber, G3630 a friend G5384 of publicans G5057 and G2532 sinners. G268 But G2532 wisdom G4678 is justified G1344 of G575 her G846 children. G5043
And G2532 saith G3004 unto him, G846 Every G3956 man G444 at the beginning G4412 doth set forth G5087 good G2570 wine; G3631 and G2532 when G3752 men have well drunk, G3184 then G5119 that which is worse: G1640 but thou G4771 hast kept G5083 the good G2570 wine G3631 until G2193 now. G737

Commentary on Genesis 43 Matthew Henry Commentary
Chapter 43
Here the story of Joseph's brethren is carried on, and very particularly related

Gen 43:11-14
Observe here,
Gen 43:15-25
Jacob's sons, having got leave to take Benjamin with them, were observant of the orders their father had given them, and went down the second time into Egypt to buy corn. If we should ever know what a famine of the word means, let us not think it much to travel as far for spiritual food as they did for corporal food. Now here we have an account of what passed between them and Joseph's steward, who, some conjecture, was in the secret, and knew them to be Joseph's brethren, and helped to humour the thing; I rather think not, because no man was permitted to be present when Joseph afterwards made himself known to them, ch. 45:1. Observe,
Gen 43:26-34
Here is,
