1 Samuel 28:24
And the woman had a fat calf in the house; and she hasted, and killed it, and took flour, and kneaded it, and did bake unleavened bread thereof:
And the woman had a fat calf in the house,.... This was reckoned a very dainty dish in those countries, and fit for any guests, see Genesis 18:7; Josephus says {l}, 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.
