1 Chronicles 12:35-40
prepared ... battle <06186 04421> [expert in war. or, keeping their rank.]
other side <05676> [the other side.]
acclamation ........... agreement <08003 03820 03824> [with a perfect heart.]
The meaning of this expression may be inferred from that of a double heart in ver. 33. If a double heart be expressive of insincerity or duplicity, a perfect heart, which seems to be put in opposition to it, must signify a sincere, faithful, and entire attachment.
rest <07611> [all the rest.]
feasting <0398 08354> [eating and drinking.]
bringing <0935> [brought.]
The Septuagint reads [ ,] "brought (to) them" which is probably correct; the Hebrew {lahem,} "to them" might be easily mistaken for {lechem,} "bread." The passage will then read, "bought them on asses, on camels, and on mules, and on oxen, meat, meal, cakes of figs," etc., which renders the introduction of and unnecessary. From the mention of oil, figs, and raisins, Mr. Harmer thinks that this assembly was held in autumn.
supplies ... flour <07058 03978> [meat, meal. or, victual of meal. cakes of figs.]
celebrating <08057> [there was joy.]
