Vulgate (Clementine)
Tulit itaque Isai asinum plenum panibus, et lagenam vini, et hædum de capris unum, et misit per manum David filii sui Sauli.
Septuagint (Swete)
καὶ ἔλαβεν Ἰεσσαὶ γόμορ ἄρτων καὶ ἀσκὸν οἴνου καὶ ἔριφον αἰγῶν ἕνα, καὶ ἐξαπέστειλεν ἐν χειρὶ Δαυεὶδ τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ πρὸς Σαούλ.
Hebrew (WLC)

Haydock's commentary

Laden. So Chaldean. (Menochius)

Literally, plenum, "full of." (Haydock)

Septuagint, "a gomor," which they seem to have read instead of the Hebrew chamor, "an ass of bread," as Sosibius says, "he eats three asses' panniers of loaves." (Calmet)

Protestants supply, "laden."
