1 Samuele 28:24 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 28:24

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 F12, 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.

1 Samuele 28:24 In-Context

22 Ora dunque, ascolta, ti prego, altresì ciò che ti dirà la tua servente; e lascia che io ti metta una fetta di pane davanti, e mangia, e tu avrai un poco di forza, quando tu ti rimetterai in cammino.
23 Ed egli lo rifiutò, e disse: Io non mangerò. Ma i suoi servitori, e anche quella donna, lo strinsero; talchè egli acconsentì al dir loro; e, levatosi da terra, si pose a sedere sopra un letto.
24 Or quella donna avea un vitello stiato in casa, il quale ella prestamente ammazzò; prese eziandio della farina, e l’intrise, e ne cosse de’ pani azzimi;
25 e recò quelle cose davanti a Saulle, e davanti a’ suoi servitori. Ed essi mangiarono; poi si levarono, e andarono via quella stessa notte.
