The Hebrew verb abas (אָבַס) means to stall-feed or fatten. It describes deliberate, abundant provision of nourishment — feeding animals in a stall to prepare them for use or slaughter.
This rare verb appears in the context of Solomon's daily provisions (1 Kings 4:23), pointing to the abundance of his kingdom — a foretaste of Messianic peace and plenty. God is the ultimate provider who fattens and sustains His people, preparing a feast for all who come to Him (Isaiah 25:6).
