Verse 11

(11) Twenty thousand measures of wheat.—This agrees well enough with the calculation in 1 Kings 4:22 of ninety measures a day—something over 32,000 a year—for Solomon’s Court, presumably greater than that of Hiram. But the “twenty measures of oil “—even of the pure refined oil—is so insignificant in comparison, that it seems best to adopt the Greek reading here (agreeing with 2 Chronicles 2:10, and with Josephus) of 20,000 baths, or 2,000 cors, of oil.
