twenty measures . "Twenty thousand baths of oil" are mentioned in Chronicles; and the Syriac , Arabic , and Septuagint also have here "twenty thousand measures." But as barley and wine are also spoken of there , it is probable that the wheat mentioned here , and the small quantity of fine oil , were intended for the use of Hiram's own family , while that in Chronicles was for his workmen.
