Now then

David is starting a new part of the conversation.

what do you have on hand?

Here "on hand" is a metonym meaning "available." Alternate translation: "What food do you have that you can give me?" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy)

Give me five loaves of bread

This is a polite request.
