1 Samuel 28:24

John Gill - Exposition - John Gill

Read in KJV Bible Reader

And the woman had a fat calf in the house,.... This was reckoned a very dainty dish in those countries, and fit for any guests, see Genesis 18:7; Josephus says (l), she vouchsafed to feed and take care of it in her house, and it was very familiar with her; and he highly commends the liberality of the woman, and as worthy of imitation:

and she hasted and killed it; and dressed it in some way or another, and which in those times was done speedily:

and took flour and kneaded [it], and did bake unleavened bread therewith; which was soonest made, she not having time to leaven it.

(l) Antiqu. l. 6. c. 14. sect. 3. 4.
