take <03947> [I will take.]

Solomon tried ....................... Solomon <08010 01245> [Solomon sought.]
Shishak <07895> [Shishak.]
This is the first time we meet with the proper name of an Egyptian king in Scripture, Pharaoh being the general appellation for all the sovereigns of that country. Some are of opinion that Shishak is the same with the celebrated Sesostris of the Greek historians; but it is probable that this king lived long before Solomon's time. Usher thinks him to be Sesonchis, and places the beginning of his reign, A.M. 3026, B.C. 978.
rest <03499> [rest.]
events .................... Annals <01697> [acts. or, words, or things.]
<03117> [time. Heb. days. forty years.]
Josephus says fourscore years; which is sufficiently absurd. Calmet supposes him to have been 18 years old when he came to the throne, and 58 when he died.
