A Great Feast

Published in the Sangamo Journal, Springfield, Illinois on Tuesday, December 2, 1851

Solomon gave a feast in the courtyard of his temple, at which were consumed no less than 22,000 oxen and 120,000 sheep. The feast acquired sixty acres of ground for kitchens, 17,000 cooks, and allowing one pound of meat for each guest, and eighteen inches for each seat, the table extended the whole length of Solomon’s kingdom, from Dan to Beersheba.
