1 Samuel 28:24

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 F12 Antiqu. l. 6. c. 14. sect. 3. 4. , 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.
