EXPLANATION

Verse 43. Second chariot. On public occasions the king was followed by an empty chariot, (2 Chronicles 35:24,) or the chariot here spoken of, was destined for the person who was next in dignity to the king. Calmet.—That all, and so forth Hebrew “crying Abroc,” which Aquila explains in the same sense as the Vulgate. Others think it is an exclamation of joy, (Grot.) like huzza! ( Bible.) or it may mean father of the king, or tender father. Calmet. 45:8.
