The meaning of Entertain in the Bible
(From Easton's Bible Dictionary)
Entertainments, "feasts," were sometimes connected with a public festival (Deuteronomy 16:11,14), and accompanied by offerings (I Samuel 9:13), in token of alliances (Genesis 26:30); sometimes in connection with domestic or social events, as at the weaning of children (Genesis 21:8), at weddings (Genesis 29:22; John 2:1), on birth-days (Matthew 14:6), at the time of sheep-shearing (II Samuel 13:23), and of vintage (Judges 9:27), and at funerals (II Samuel 3:35; Jeremiah 16:7).
