measures.
Heb. cors.
1 Kings 4:22• 22And Solomon's provision for one day was thirty measures of fine flour, and threescore measures of meal, (1 Kings 4:22)
;
1 Kings 4•  (1 Kings 4)

2 Chron. 2:10• 10And, behold, I will give to thy servants, the hewers that cut timber, twenty thousand measures of beaten wheat, and twenty thousand measures of barley, and twenty thousand baths of wine, and twenty thousand baths of oil. (2 Chron. 2:10)
twenty measures."Twenty thousand baths of oil" are mentioned in Chronicles; and the Syriac, Arabic, and Septuagint also have here "twenty thousand measures."
But as barley and wine are also spoken of there, it is probable that the wheat mentioned here, and the small quantity of fine oil, were intended for the use of Hiram's own family, while that in Chronicles was for his workmen.
• Nevertheless Solomon accomplishes the desire of Hiram because the latter accomplishes that of Solomon (1 Kings 5:9-10), and the desire of Hiram is the feeding of his house. The Lord could do without us, but He does not want to do so. (“Hiram. Preparation for the Temple: 1 Kings 5” by H.L. Rossier)
• And what abundance reigns among the servants of the king of Tyre thereafter! four million eight hundred thousand liters of wheat annually! One might own cedar trees and cypresses and yet die of hunger. Certainly one doesn’t die of hunger when one places them into the service of Solomon! (“Hiram. Preparation for the Temple: 1 Kings 5” by H.L. Rossier)
