EXPLANATION

Verse 16. Eliphaleth. Septuagint reckon twenty instead of eleven. Calmet.—The Vat. copy has twenty-four, as some of the names have been read differently, so as to make two persons, and thus frequently a double translation occurs in the Septuagint the one being taken either from Aquila, and so forth or from some more early version, of which we know not the author. Grabe. Kennicott, Diss. ii. p. 404.
