2 Chronicles 3:16
ornamental chains ...................... chains <08333> [chains.]
one hundred <03967> [an hundred.]
2 Chronicles 17:18
2 Chronicles 24:15
grew <07646 03117> [A.M. 3162. B.C. 842. and was full of days.]
{WyyisbÆ’ yammim,} "satiated with days;" which seems to be a metaphor taken from a guest regaled by a plentiful banquet, used to express the termination of life without reluctance.
130 <03967> [an hundred.]
2 Chronicles 25:6
100,000 ...... hundred talents ... silver <03603 03701 03967> [an hundred talents of silver.]
Estimating the shekel at 2s. 6d., and the talent, being 3,000 shekels, (see Ex 38:25, 26,) at 375Å“., one hundred talents would amount to 37,500Å“.; which, divided among 100,000 men, quotes only 7s. 6d.; hence we may suppose, that this was only an earnest of their pay, or that they expected to be enriched by the plunder of the Edomites.
2 Chronicles 36:3
prevented <05493> [put him down. Heb. removed him.]
imposed <06064> [condemned. Heb. mulcted.]
2 Chronicles 3:4
porch <0197> [the porch.]
30 feet .............. 30 feet <06242 03967> [an hundred and twenty.]
As the height of the temple was only thirty cubits, 120 seems too great a height for the porch; but the Syriac, Arabic, and the LXX. in the codex Alexandrinus, have only twenty, probably reading, instead of {maiah weesrim,} "one hundred and twenty," {ammoth esrim,} "twenty cubits;" which brings it within the proportion of the other measures.
2 Chronicles 4:8
ten tables <07979 06235> [ten tables.]
bowls <04219> [basons. or, bowls.]
2 Chronicles 28:6
Pekah <06492> [Pekah.]
120,000 <03967> [an hundred.]
son ........ warriors <01121 02428> [valiant men. Heb. sons of valour. because.]
2 Chronicles 29:32
total <04557> [the number.]
Comparing the sacrifices offered on this occasion with those of Solomon at the dedication of the temple, we may form some idea of the decrease of the prosperity and riches of Judah, or of the decline of the general spirit of piety.
2 Chronicles 2:17
census .................... taken <05608> [numbered.]
<0582> [the strangers. Heb. the men the strangers. after the numbering.]
2 Chronicles 7:5
<02077> [a sacrifice.]
22,000 .... 120,000 <08147 06242> [twenty and two.]
The number of sheep and oxen here mentioned has to some appeared incredibly large; but it must be considered that a prodigious number of persons was now at Jerusalem, and that this was the amount of all the victims that had been offered during the seven days of the feast of tabernacles, as well as the time the feast of the dedication lasted.
dedicated <02596> [dedicated.]
2 Chronicles 9:9
gave .......................... gave <05414> [she gave.]
spices ........ spices <01314> [of spices.]
Sheba <07614> [Sheba.]
This queen is called Balkis by the Arabians, who say she came from the city of Sheba, also called Mareb, in Yemen or Arabia Felix; but the Ethiopians call her Maqueda, claim her as their sovereign, and say that her posterity reigned there for a long time. Mr. Bruce has given us the history of her and her descendants from Abyssinian records; and Josephus says that Sheba was the ancient name of the city of Mero‰, (south of Egypt, and sometimes comprehended in Ethiopia,) and that this princess came from thence. Those who think the princess came from Arabia, rely chiefly on the fact that gold, silver, spices, and precious stones, which were the presents she made to Solomon, are the natural products of that country; and that it may well be placed at the uttermost part of the earth, as it borders on the southern ocean, and formerly they knew no land beyond it.
2 Chronicles 11:1
Rehoboam ...................... Rehoboam <07346> [when Rehoboam.]
180,000 <03967> [an hundred.]
2 Chronicles 27:5
king <05984 04428> [the king of the Ammonites.]
We find here, that he brought the Ammonites under a heavy tribute for three years; but whether this was the effect of his prevailing against them, is not so evident. Some think that they paid this tribute for three years, and then revolted; that, in consequence, he attacked them, and their utter subjection was the result.
10,000 ...... 10,000 <0505 06235> [ten thousand.]
Rather, "ten thousand {cors} (korim) of wheat." The {cor} was same as the {homer,} and contained about 32 pecks 1 pint.
Ammonites ........ Ammonites .................. Ammonites <01121> [So much. Heb. This.]
