  convened his chief men, and spake to them concerning the
  solemn sacrifice which he purposed to offer to God.

- for who can.
   * 2Co 2:16; 3:5


VERSE 11 
 - Because.
  This does not occur in Kings:  and it implies that the request

  which he had not asked, except the life of his enemies; for he
  was to be a peaceable king, a type of the Prince of peace.

   * 2Ch 9:27 Isa 9:10 Am 7:14

   * 2Ch 9:28 1Ki 10:28,29
- linen yarn.
  The word [miqvˆ <\\S#4723\\>,] or [miqvˆh <\\S#4723\\>,]
  {mikweh,} is regarded by the ancient translators as a proper
  name:  the LXX. have [          ,] "from Tekoa," the Vulgate,
  {de Coa,} "from Koa," which is adopted by Dr. Geddes; the
  Syriac, "from the city Aphelia;" and the Arabic, "{ex urbe
  Australium.}"  Bochart thinks it signifies a tribute; others
  suppose that it signifies a string or drove of horses, or as
  Jarchi says, what the Germans call {Gtutte,} a stud; but
  Houbigant supposes it to be a corruption for {mercavah,}
  "chariots." Our English translation, however, which regards it
  as synonymous with {tikwah,} seems by far the best.  According
  to Norden, linen yarn is still one of the principal articles
  of commerce in Egypt, and is exported in very large
  quantities, together with unmanufactured flax and spun cotton;
  and Sanutus, 400 years ago, remarked that though Christian
  countries abounded in flax, yet the goodness of the Egyptian
  was such, that it was dispersed even to the west.


VERSE 17 
 - the kings.
   * 2Ki 10:29
- means.  Heb. hand.
