2 Chronicles 20:22-25
When ... began <06256 02490> [when they. Heb. in the time that they, etc. to sing and to.]
Heb. in singing and. the Lord set ambushments. Houbigant's version is, "the Lord set against the children of Amon and Moab ambushments of those who came from mount Seir against Judah; and the children of Ammon and Moab were smitten: but they afterwards rose up against the inhabitants of mount Seir, and utterly destroyed them; who being destroyed, they rose up one against one another, and mutually destroyed each other."
defeated <05062> [were smitten. or, smote one another.]
Mount Seir ............. Seir <08165 02022> [mount Seir.]
destroyed ... another <04889 07453> [to destroy another. Heb. for the destruction.]
dead bodies <06297> [they were dead.]
survivors <06413> [none escaped. Heb. there was not an escaping.]
found <04672> [they found.]
clothing <06297> [dead bodies.]
Instead of {pegarim,} "dead bodies," eight MSS. and several ancient editions read {begadim,} "garments." None of the ancient versions, except the Chaldee, have dead bodies: garments would therefore appear to be the true reading; and the succeeding clause should be rendered, "which they seized for themselves."
items <03627 02532> [precious jewels.]
so much <07227> [it was so much.]
