Wheat, stripped of the husk, boiled, and saturated with butter, forms a frequent meal with the laboring people in the East (compare 1Ki 5:11). There is no discrepancy between that passage and this. The yearly supplies of wine and oil, mentioned in the former, were intended for Huram's court in return for the cedars sent him; while the articles of meat and drink specified here were for the workmen on Lebanon.

TSK: 2Ch 2:10 - -- I will give : 1Ki 5:11; Luk 10:7; Rom 13:7, Rom 13:8 baths of wine : 1Ki 7:26, 1Ki 7:38; Ezr 7:22

I will give : 1Ki 5:11; Luk 10:7; Rom 13:7, Rom 13:8

baths of wine : 1Ki 7:26, 1Ki 7:38; Ezr 7:22

Beaten wheat - The Hebrew text is probably corrupt here. The true original may be restored from marginal reference, where the wheat is said to have been given "for food."

The barley and the wine are omitted in Kings. The author of Chronicles probably filled out the statement which the writer of Kings has given in brief; the barley, wine, and ordinary oil, would be applied to the sustenance of the foreign laborers.

Wheat. Hebrew adds, "beaten." ---

Barley and wine are not specified [in] 3 Kings v. 11. (Calmet) ---

Measures, like the Roman amphora, contained 960 ozs. (Cornelius a Lapide) ---

Hebrew has, "batim," in both places; but [in] 3 Kings we find, "twenty cores of oil." The satum, "measure," was only one-third of the bath or epha. (Calmet)

Gill: 2Ch 2:10 - -- Behold, I will give to thy servants, the hewers that cut timber, twenty thousand measures of beaten wheat,.... Meaning, not what was beaten out of the...

Behold, I will give to thy servants, the hewers that cut timber, twenty thousand measures of beaten wheat,.... Meaning, not what was beaten out of the husk with the flail, as some; nor bruised or half broke for pottage, as others; but ground into flour, as R. Jonah d interprets it; or rather, perhaps, it should be rendered "food" e that is, for his household, as in 1Ki 5:11, and the hire of these servants is proposed to be given in this way, because wheat was scarce with the Tyrians, and they were obliged to have it from the Jews, Act 12:20,

and twenty thousand measures of barley; the measures of both these were the cor, of which see 1Ki 5:11,

and twenty thousand baths of wine, and twenty thousand baths of oil; which measure was the tenth part of a "cor". According to the Ethiopians, a man might consume four of these measures in the space of a month f.
