Contextual Overview

9 The men of Ephraim had bows for weapons, but they ran away on the day of battle. 10 They didn't keep their agreement with God and refused to live by his teachings. 11 They forgot what he had done and the miracles he had shown them. 12 He did miracles while their ancestors watched, in the fields of Zoan in Egypt. 13 He divided the Red Sea and led them through. He made the water stand up like a wall. 14 He led them with a cloud by day and by the light of a fire by night. 15 He split the rocks in the desert and gave them more than enough water, as if from the deep ocean. 16 He brought streams out of the rock and caused water to flow down like rivers. 17 But the people continued to sin against him; in the desert they turned against God Most High. 18 They decided to test God by asking for the food they wanted.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

So they did eat, and were well filled,..... Or "exceedingly filled" m, or too much, as some versions render it; they eat to excess, not merely to satisfy nature, but to gratify their sensual appetite: gluttony is a sin; it is an abuse of the creatures; it hurts the body by filling it with gross humours, and bringing diseases on it; it is injurious to the mind; the heart may be overcharged by it; it disposes it to sin; it leads to impiety, to atheism, and disbelief of a future state, which often go along with it, and ends in destruction, which is the case of those whose god is their belly:

for he gave them their own desire; or their lust n, what they lusted after, flesh; and they had as much of it as they would, though this was given in judgment; and a sad thing it is when God gives men a fulness of this world's things, and leaves them to the abuse of them, or sends leanness into their souls, and gives them up to their own hearts' lusts.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

So they did eat, and were well filled - The word rendered “well” here is intensive. It means that they were abundantly satisfied; that there was no lack; that they had the most ample supply.

For he gave them their own desire - He gave them exactly what they asked. He gave them flesh to eat as they had demanded; and he gave it to them in such quantities that no one could say that he had not enough.
