1 Chronicles 22:14

22:14

[trouble. or, poverty.]

100,000 ..... 1,000,000 <03967 0505> [an hundred thousand.]

This, at 5,075œ. 15s. 7«d. the talent, would amount to the sum of 507,578,125œ.

100,000 talents .... 1,000,000 talents ... silver <0505 03603 03701> [thousand thousand talents of silver.]

This, at 353Å“. 11s. 10d. the talent, would amount to 353,591,666Å“. 13s. 4d.; and both sums would amount to the immense sum of 868,169,791Å“. 13s. 4d.

weighed <04948> [without weight.]

29:2

provide .... needed <03559> [I have prepared.]

effort <03581> [with all.]

gold <02091> [the gold.]

onyx ....... stones ...... stones <07718 068> [onyx stones.]

{Avney shoham,} which was, probably, not the precious stone or gem called onyx, but a marble called in Greek {onychites,} which Pliny mentions as a stone Caramania; for one would hardly think that gems of any kind were used externally in such a building as the temple. Antiquity gave both stones this name, because of their resemblance to the nail of the finger.

onyx .... antimony .... stones ...... stones <068 06320> [glistering stones.]

{Avney phuch} seems to denote a kind of black marble, so called from its colour resembling stibium: so Vulgate {quasi stibinos.}

onyx ....... stones ...... stones ... alabaster <068 07893> [marble stones.]

{Avney shayish} is rendered in the Targum {avney marmoraiyah,} "stones of marble," and by the LXX., and Vulgate [Parion] or [Parinon,] or {marmor Parium,} "Parium marble," which was remarkable for its bright white colour. Josephus says that the temple was built of large blocks of white marble, beautifully polished, so as to produce a most splendid appearance.

Probably Jabez should be mentioned here; as otherwise he is as a consequent without an antecedent.

Ezrah <05834> [Ezra.]

Ezra seems to be the person before called Asareel in ver. 16.

Mered's ....... Miriam <02029 04813> [and she bare Miriam.]

It is probable that the latter part of ver. 18 should be transposed before this passage, which Michaelis thinks is its right place; for otherwise we have the pronoun she without an antecedent, and children born without their father's being mentioned.

Eshtemoa <0851> [Eshtemoa.]

[Eshtemoh.]

4:18

Judahite <03057> [Jehudijah. or, the Jewess. the father <\\See definition 03057\\>.]

[Socoh <\\See definition 07755\\>.]
