wine and dine Banquet a feast provided for the entertainment of a company of guests (
Esther 5 ;
7 ;
1 Pet .
4 :
3 );
such as was provided for our Lord by his friends in Bethany (
Matt .
26 :
6 ;
Mark 14 :
3 ;
comp .
John 12 :
2 ).
These meals were in the days of Christ usually called "
suppers ,"
after the custom of the Romans ,
and were partaken of toward the close of the day .
It was usual to send a second invitation (
Matt .
22 :
3 ;
Luke 14 :
17 )
to those who had been already invited .
When the whole company was assembled ,
the master of the house shut the door with his own hands (
Luke 13 :
25 ;
Matt .
25 :
10 ).
The guests were first refreshed with water and fragrant oil (
Luke 7 :
38 ;
Mark 7 :
4 ).
A less frequent custom was that of supplying each guest with a robe to be worn during the feast (
Eccles .
9 :
8 ;
Rev .
3 :
4 ,
5 ;
Matt .
22 :
11 ).
At private banquets the master of the house presided ;
but on public occasions a "
governor of the feast "
was chosen (
John 2 :
8 ).
The guests were placed in order according to seniority (
Gen .
43 :
33 ),
or according to the rank they held (
Prov .
25 :
6 ,
7 ;
Matt .
23 :
6 ;
Luke 14 :
7 ).
As spoons and knives and forks are a modern invention ,
and were altogether unknown in the East ,
the hands alone were necessarily used ,
and were dipped in the dish ,
which was common to two of the guests (
John 13 :
26 ).
In the days of our Lord the guests reclined at table ;
but the ancient Israelites sat around low tables ,
cross -
legged ,
like the modern Orientals .
Guests were specially honoured when extra portions were set before them (
Gen .
43 :
34 ),
and when their cup was filled with wine till it ran over (
Ps .
23 :
5 ).
The hands of the guests were usually cleaned by being rubbed on bread ,
the crumbs of which fell to the ground ,
and were the portion for dogs (
Matt .
15 :
27 ;
Luke 16 :
21 ).
At the time of the three annual festivals at Jerusalem family banquets were common .
To these the "
widow ,
and the fatherless ,
and the stranger "
were welcome (
Deut .
16 :
11 ).
Sacrifices also included a banquet (
Ex .
34 :
15 ;
Judg .
16 :
23 ).
Birthday banquets are mentioned (
Gen .
40 :
20 ;
Matt .
14 :
6 ).
They were sometimes protracted ,
and attended with revelry and excess (
Gen .
21 :
8 ;
29 :
22 ;
1 Sam .
25 :
2 ,
36 ;
2 Sam .
13 :
23 ).
Portions were sometimes sent from the table to poorer friends (
Neh .
8 :
10 ;
Esther 9 :
19 ,
22 ). (
