In 2 Sa 24:13, it is seven years; but the Septuagint has there [tria <\\See definition 5140\\> ete,] three years, as here; which is, no doubt, the true reading; the letter [Zayin,] {zayin,} seven, being mistaken for [Giymel,] {gimmel,} three.

Mijamin <04326> [Mijamin.]

Abijah <029> [Abijah.]
As the Evangelist Luke mentions the course of Abia, it is evident that these courses of the priests, established by David, no doubt under Divine direction, were continued, with some alterations, till the days of Christ: these records must therefore have been very useful after the Babylonian captivity.
