     * shall eat bread.
       The eating at courts was of two kinds; the one public and
       ceremonious, the other private.  Sir John Chardin understands
       those passages which speak of a right to eat at the royal
       table, as pointing out a right to a seat there, when the
       repast was public and solemn.  So in a MS. Note on 1; Ki 2:7,
       he tells us that it was to be understood of the {majilis,}
       (the term for an assembly of lords, or a public feast,) and
       not of the daily and ordinary repast.  Hence, though
       Mephibosheth was to eat at all public times at the king's
       table, yet he would want the produce of his lands for food at
       other times, which it was necessary for Ziba to understand.
