The original {weâ€latho asher ya„leh baith yehowah,} is rendered by the LXX. and Vulgate, [kai ten olokowtosin autou en anepheren en oiko Kuriou;] {et holocausta, qu‘ offerebat in domo Domini,} "And the burnt offerings (or holocausts) which he offered in the house of the Lord;" with which the Chaldee, Syriac, and Arabic agree; and so also Luther, {llnd feine Brandopfer, bie er in bem Daufe bes Derrn opferte;} and this seems to be the true sense of the passage.

{Kophim,} rather monkeys, the same as the Syriac [qwp',] Greek [kephos,] [kepos,] or [kebos,] and Roman {Cephus,} which animal both Pliny and Solinus inform us was brought from Ethiopia. The same name appears in the monkeys, called {KEIIIEN} in the Pr‘nestine Pavement, and in the French {cep} or {ceb.}
peacocks <08500> [peacocks.]

Mr. Reynolds, stating Solomon's income at about four times as much as his father left him, reckons that he had each year 142,242,034Å“. 9s. 7d., each week 2,735,423Å“ 14s. 9d., and each day, 390,770Å“ 16s. 4d.

{Nikkoodim,} spotted, or perforated cakes; either, as some suppose, thin cakes pierced through with holes, the same as is called Jews' bread to the present day, and used by them at the passover; or, as Mr. Harmer imagines, cakes spotted with seeds, as with sesamum, Roman coriander, etc., such as he proves from Rauwolff, Russell, and Hanway, are still used in the East. This was certainly not a present that proclaimed royalty; but it does not appear to have been, in the estimation of the East, a present only fit for a country woman to have made, as Bp. Patrick supposes: for D'Arvieux informs us, that when he waited on an Arab emir, his mother and sisters sent him a present of pastry, honey, and fresh butter, with a bason of sweetmeats of Damascus.

Tirzah <08656> [Tirzah.]
Tirzah was a city of Ephraim, to which tribe Jeroboam belonged; and appears to have been pleasantly situated, as it is said in So 6:4, "Thou art beautiful, O my love, as Tirzah," though its precise situation cannot now be ascertained. It seems to have been the royal city, and the seat of government for a long time after the revolt of the ten tribes, till Omri built Samaria.

mother <0517> [his mother's.]
Abijah <038> [Abijam.]
Dr. Kennicott observes, that the name of this king of Judah is now expressed three ways; here and in four other places, it is Abijam; in two others (2 Ch 13:20, 21) it is Abijahu; but in eleven others it is Abijah or Abiah, as it is expressed by St. Matthew, (ch. 1:7,) [Abia;] and this is the reading of thirteen of Kennicott's and De Rossi's MSS., and of thirteen respectable editions of the Hebrew Bible. The Syriac is the same. The Septuagint in the London Polyglott has [Abiou,] Abihu; but in the Complutensian and Antwerp Polyglotts it has [Abia,] Abiah; and the Editio Princeps of the Vulgate, some MSS. and the text in these two Polyglotts, instead of Abiam, have Abia.
