A Prophecy Fulfilled
Commentators unanimously agree that this prophecy was fulfilled in the exceptionally fertile territory the tribe of Asher inherited. Located along the coast near Mount Carmel, the land was rich in wheat and oil, producing food described as "fat" and dainties fit for a king. Scholar John Gill notes this was literally fulfilled when King Solomon stationed one of his food purveyors in Asher's territory.
