Haydock's commentary
Loaves. The soldiers at that time, and perhaps always among the Hebrews, lived at their own expense, as the tribute which was paid to the king was not sufficient to support large armies, ver. 25. (Calmet)
St. Paul insinuates, however, that soldiers were paid, 1 Corinthians ix. 7. (Haydock)
