Menochius.—Depart. How do you pretend to say that the Assyrian is departing, when indeed he is coming to divide our lands amongst his subjects? Challoner.—The Cutheans were sent into the country. 4 Kennicott. 17:24. Calmet.—Septuagint “and there was none to hinder him from returning, our lands were divided.” Bible.
