Title: A table
We
may venture to conclude that the table the Shepherd arrays here for the sheep
who listen to his voice is not an ordinary one, but an opulent feast fit for a
king and afforded with all the bounty and righteousness that would satisfy body
and soul to the point of overflowing, in an atmosphere of tranquility and
security in the midst of their enemies, and in fellowship with the Lord
throughout the years.
Note:
For
a picture of a king’s table, we may refer to (1 Kings 4:22,23), listing the
daily provisions of Solomon:
185
bushels of fine flour
375
bushels of meal
10
heads of stall-fed cattle
20
heads of pasture-fed cattle
100
sheep and goats
as
well as deer, gazelles, roebucks, and choice fowl
