1 Kings 17:6 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 17:6

And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and
bread and flesh in the evening
For his breakfast and supper, the two principal meals then in use; and as there were several employed, they could bring a sufficiency in a short time for each meal; and these provisions were ready prepared, the bread made and baked, and the flesh boiled, broiled, or roasted; from whence they had it need not be inquired after; the Jews say F23 they were fetched from Ahab's table, and others from Jehoshaphat's, and others, as probable as any, from the tables of the 7000 who had not bowed the knee to Baal:

and he drank of the brook;
at his meals.
