{1 Kings 5:11} And Solomon 8010 gave 5414 z8804 Hiram 2438 twenty 6242 thousand 505 measures 3734 of wheat 2406 [for] food 4361 to his household, 1004 and twenty 6242 measures 3734 of pure 3795 oil: 8081 thus x3541 gave 5414 z8799 Solomon 8010 to Hiram 2438 year 8141 by year. 8141
measures:
Heb. cors, "And Solomon'sª provisionª for oneª dayª was¹ thirtyª measuresª of fine flour,ª and threescoreª measuresª of meal,ª" {1Kg 4:22} *marg. "And, behold,¹ I will giveª° to thy servants,ª the hewersª° that cutª° timber,ª twentyª thousandª measuresª of beatenª wheat,ª and twentyª thousandª measuresª of barley,ª and twentyª thousandª bathsª of wine,ª and twentyª thousandª bathsª of oil.ª" {2Ch 2:10}
twenty measures:
"Twenty thousand baths of oil" are mentioned in Chronicles; and the Syriac, Arabic, and Septuagint also have here "twenty thousand measures." But as barley and wine are also spoken of there, it is probable that the wheat mentioned here, and the small quantity of fine oil, were intended for the use of Hiram's own family, while that in Chronicles was for his workmen.
