Solomons provision] Heb. bread; Of bread for himself and his court: The like is not read of in any other kings time: much was that which was provided for Nehemiah, Nehemiah 5:18. but not comparable to this. measures] Heb. cors: One cor contained an ephah; for a cor and homer are the same measure; and an ephah and bath are also the same: But an ephah or bath is the tenth part of an homer, Ezekiel 45:11; Ezekiel 45:14. An homer of barley was valued at fifty shekels of silver, Leviticus 27:16. whence it may be gathered, That an homer or cor was a very great measure, the greatest that is mentioned in Scripture: some take it to be an asses load, as we count, a seam of wheat (which holds eight bushells) an horse-load. An ephah was about the measure of our bushell; by which account, one cor was about ten bushels: so as he had every day three hundred bushels of flour, and six hundred of meal.
