Charles Ellicott Commentary 1 Kings 4:22

"And Solomon`s provision for one day was thirty measures of fine flour, and threescore measures of meal," — 1 Kings 4:22 (ASV)

Measures. —The “measure” (cor) is variously estimated (from 86 to 42 gallons). In any case the quantity is very large and, like the other mentions of provisions supplied, indicates a vast number, probably several thousands, belonging to the royal household, court, and bodyguard. The “harts, roebucks, etc.,” whatever the exact meaning of each word may be, evidently denote the wild game, as distinct from the herds and flocks; the “fatted fowl” apparently signifies “dainty food” generally, as distinct from the staple of ordinary meat.
