Solomon’s daily provisions (1 Kings 4:22-4:23)

“Solomon’s provision for one day was thirty cors of choice flour, and sixty cors of meal, ten fat oxen, and twenty pasture-fed cattle, one hundred sheep, besides deer, gazelles, roebucks, and fatted fowl.”

Solomon had lots of flower, meal, oxen, cattle, sheep, deer, gazelles, bucks and birds. His daily food supply was enormous. A cor was like a bushel of something so that we are talking about 30 and 60 bushels of flour and meal. Notice that the cows are pasture fed, that is domesticated and not wild. So you end up with a daily provision of 10 oxen, 20 cows, and 100 sheep plus the flour, meal, deer, and birds. He must have been feeding a lot of people.
