Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
Ten fat: Nehemiah 5:17, Nehemiah 5:18
harts: Dr. Shaw understands ayil as the name of the genus, including all the species of the deer kind, whether they are distinguished by round horns, as the stag, or by flat ones, as the fallow deer, or by the smallness of the branches, as the roe.
roebucks: See note on Deuteronomy 15:22.
fallowdeer: Yachmur, rendered bubalus by the Vulgate, probably the buffalo; and though "the flesh of a buffalo does not seem so well tasted as beef, being harder and more coarse," yet in our times, "persons of distinction, as well as the common people, and even the European merchants, eat a good deal of it, in the countries where that animal abounds." Niebuhr, Descrip. de l'Arab p. 146.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Ten fat oxen,.... Such as were kept up in the stall and fatted:
and twenty oxen out of the pastures; which were killed as they were taken from thence, and not put up to be fed:
and an hundred sheep; out of the folds:
beside harts, and roebucks, and fallow deer; which were clean creatures, according to the Levitical law, Deuteronomy 14:5; these were hunted in fields, or taken out of the park, or were presents from other countries; so that here was plenty of beef, mutton, and venison: for the spiritual application of this to the antitypical Solomon, and his provisions, see Matthew 22:4;
and fatted fowl; such as we call capons a; some Jewish writers b, because of the likeness of sound in the word here used, take them to be Barbary fowls, or such as were brought from that country: there is a sort of birds called βαρβαροι, which were without a voice, that neither heard men, nor knew their voice c.
a So David de Pomis, Tzemach David, fol. 12. 3. and some in Kimchi in loc. b Baal Aruch & R. Elias Levit. Tishbi, in voce ברבר. c Scholia in Aristoph. Aves, p. 550.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Harts ... - The exact sorts of wild land animals here intended are very uncertain. Perhaps it would be best to translate “wild-goats, gazelles, and wild oxen,” which abounded in the wilder parts of Syria, from where Solomon would be supplied. (See 1 Kings 4:24.) (Yahmur, or the “roebuck,” gives its name to a valley in a wooded district, south of Carmel (Conder).) The use of game at the royal banquets of Assyria appears in the sculptures.
