SEV Biblia, Chapter 28:24
Y aquella mujer tenía en su casa un ternero grueso, el cual mató luego; y tomó harina y la amasó, y coció de ella panes sin levadura.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Samuel 28:24
Verse 24. The woman had a fat calf] The ancients used great despatch in their cookery. In hot countries they could not keep flesh meat by them any length of time; hence they generally kept young animals, such as calves, lambs, and kids, ready for slaughter; and when there was occasion, one of them was killed, and dressed immediately. Unleavened bread] There was not time to bake leavened bread; that would have taken considerable time, in order that the leaven might leaven the whole lump.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 24. And the woman had a fat calf in the house , etc.] This was reckoned a very dainty dish in those countries, and fit for any guests, (see Genesis 18:7); Josephus says f551 , 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.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 20-25 - Those that expect any good counsel or comfort, otherwise than from God and in the way of his institutions, will be as wretchedly disappointe as Saul. Though terrified even to despair, he was not humbled. He confessed not his sins, offered no sacrifices, and presented n supplications. He does not seem to have cared about his sons or his people, or to have attempted any escape; but in sullen despair he rushed upon his doom. God sets up a few such beacons, to warn men no to stifle convictions, or despise his word. But while one repentin thought remains, let no sinner suppose himself in this case. Let his humble himself before God, determined to live and die beseeching his favour, and he will succeed __________________________________________________________________
