EXPLANATION

Verse 18. Him; or according to the Hebrew Septuagint and Chal. “he sent away the men who had brought the presents.” Calmet.—But is seems he followed after them as far as Galgal, ( Bible.) whence he returned, as if he had been consulting the oracle, and had orders to communicate something of importance to the king, unless we translate, “He dismissed, and so forth (19) and as he was returned from the idols at Galgal, he said,” and so forth at the same interview. Calmet.—He would not expose his companions to danger. Menochius.
