Barnes's 1-kings 4:23 Bible Commentary

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.

Wesley's 1-kings 4:23 Bible Commentary

4:23 Fat - Fatted in stalls. Out of pastures - Well fleshed, tender and good, though not so fat as the former.
