Contextual Overview

20 And Iuda and Israel were many [euen] as the sande of the sea in numbre, eating, drincking, and making mery. 21 And Solomon raigned ouer all kingdomes from the riuer vnto the lande of the Philistines, [euen] vnto the border of Egypt: and they brought presentes, and serued Solomon al the dayes of his life. 22 And Solomons bread for one day was thirtie quarters of manchet flowre, & threescore quarters of meale: 23 Ten stalled oxen, and twentie out of the pastures, and a hundred sheepe, beside hartes, buckes, and wilde goates, and capons. 24 For he ruled in all the region on the other syde Euphrates, from Thiphsah to Azza, ouer al the kinges on the other syde the riuer: And he had peace with all his seruauntes on euery syde. 25 And Iuda and Israel dwelt without feare, euery man vnder his vine and vnder his figgetree, from Danto Beerseba all the dayes of Solomon. 26 And Solomon had fourtie thousand stalles of horses for charettes, & twelue thousande horsemen. 27 And the officers prouided vittayle for king Solomon and for all that came out of any place to king Solomons table, euery man his moneth, so that they lacked nothing. 28 Barly also and strawe for the horses and mules brought they vnto the place where the officers were, euery man in his office.

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

Ten fat: Nehemiah 5:17, Nehemiah 5:18

harts: Dr. Shaw understands ayil as the name of the genus, including all the species of the deer kind, whether they are distinguished by round horns, as the stag, or by flat ones, as the fallow deer, or by the smallness of the branches, as the roe.

roebucks: See note on Deuteronomy 15:22.

fallowdeer: Yachmur, rendered bubalus by the Vulgate, probably the buffalo; and though "the flesh of a buffalo does not seem so well tasted as beef, being harder and more coarse," yet in our times, "persons of distinction, as well as the common people, and even the European merchants, eat a good deal of it, in the countries where that animal abounds." Niebuhr, Descrip. de l'Arab p. 146.

Reciprocal: Deuteronomy 14:4 - General 1 Samuel 8:12 - and will set 1 Kings 10:5 - the meat 1 Kings 12:4 - our yoke 2 Chronicles 9:4 - the meat Ecclesiastes 5:11 - they Isaiah 3:7 - neither bread Daniel 1:5 - a daily

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Ten fat oxen,.... Such as were kept up in the stall and fatted:

and twenty oxen out of the pastures; which were killed as they were taken from thence, and not put up to be fed:

and an hundred sheep; out of the folds:

beside harts, and roebucks, and fallow deer; which were clean creatures, according to the Levitical law, Deuteronomy 14:5; these were hunted in fields, or taken out of the park, or were presents from other countries; so that here was plenty of beef, mutton, and venison: for the spiritual application of this to the antitypical Solomon, and his provisions, see Matthew 22:4;

and fatted fowl; such as we call capons a; some Jewish writers b, because of the likeness of sound in the word here used, take them to be Barbary fowls, or such as were brought from that country: there is a sort of birds called βαρβαροι, which were without a voice, that neither heard men, nor knew their voice c.

a So David de Pomis, Tzemach David, fol. 12. 3. and some in Kimchi in loc. b Baal Aruch & R. Elias Levit. Tishbi, in voce ברבר. c Scholia in Aristoph. Aves, p. 550.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Harts ... - The exact sorts of wild land animals here intended are very uncertain. Perhaps it would be best to translate “wild-goats, gazelles, and wild oxen,” which abounded in the wilder parts of Syria, from where Solomon would be supplied. (See 1 Kings 4:24.) (Yahmur, or the “roebuck,” gives its name to a valley in a wooded district, south of Carmel (Conder).) The use of game at the royal banquets of Assyria appears in the sculptures.
