the LORD of hosts. See note on 1 Samuel 1:3 .

people = the peoples.

a feast. Note the Figure of speech Paronomasia in this verse: a feast (Hebrew. mishteh) of fat things (Hebrew. shemanim) , a feast of (Hebrew. mishteh) wines on the lees (Hebrew. shemarim) ; of fat things (Hebrew. shemanim)

full of marrow (Hebrew. memuhyim) , of wines on the lees (Hebrew. shemarim) . All these words are thus heaped together to impress us with the greatness of this feast.

wines on the lees. Hebrew. shemarim ( App-27 ), see above = wines purified from the lees.
