Chron. 29.25.27.30 Act. 25.21 The later sort being but inferiour gifts were sung by him that had them and judged of by those that heard even as doctrines interpretations and other like gifts 1. Corinth 14.26.29.32 Psalmes of holy scripture are perpetually to be sung in the Church For God hath given his word partly in prose to be read partly in metre to be sung Luke 4.16 2. Sam. 23 1 2.

It is used for an host of men as 2 Sam. 23.13 in stead whereof in 1 Chron. 11.15 is written Machaneh a Camp or Leaguer The Greek here turneth it Zoa Living-wights which word is used in Rev. 4.6 and 5.8.9 where mystical speech is of Christs Church prepare to weet thine inheritance or fruitfull blessings therin for the poor or afflicted that is the Church This every man was to acknowledge when he brought the first fruits unto God See Deut. 26 5.6.-9.10 Vers 12. will give the speech or gave the word but it may be taken for a prophesie And by giving the speech or word is meant either the ministring of matter and speech unto them or the confirming and performing of that which they have spoken So Paul desired the prayers of the Churches that speech might be given him Eph. 6.19 Col. 4.3 of those that publish glad-tidings or applying it to Christs time of the Evangelists of the soules that preach the Gospel or cary good newes Such are in armies they that cary tidings of victorie as 2 Sam. 18.19 Such in Christs armie are the preachers of the gospel Rom. 10.15 The original word here mebassroth is of the feminine gender usually understood therefore of women such as sung songs of victorie as Exod. 15.20 1 Sam. 18.6 7. but the scripture no where calleth such the publishers of glad-tidings we may therefore understand it of men for 1. as Solomon called himself Koheleth that is a Preacher in the feminine gender or a preaching-soul Eccles 1.1 so may any Euangelist in like sort be called Mebassereth Also 2. the Greek version maketh it the masculine the Lord will give the word to is euaggelizomenois to the men that euangelize And 3. in Isa 46.9 such are spoken to in this sort and form as did preach good tidings to Sion and Ierusalem which seemeth to be principally meant of the Apostles 4. The Chaldee paraphrast also applieth it to men though past as to Moses and Aaron to the great armie meaning the Church of whose warfare see Isa 40.2 Rev. 19.14 2 Cor. 10.4 or if we refer it to the Euangelists there is a great host of them or to the tidings that they tell it is of much warr The Chaldee referrs it to Moses and Aaron that euangelized Gods word to the great hosts of Israel shall flee this is meant of Christs enemies as in vers 2. though here is another word signifying a wandring flight seeking where to hide them as Rev. 6.15 So five Kings fled from Joshua and hid them in a cave Ios 10.16 See also Iosh 11.1.4.5.8 she that remaineth Hebr. the mansion or habitation that is the woman or women who goe not out to warr but keep at home as Iudg 5.24 Tit. 2.5 divide the spoile this is a blessing Isa 53.12 done after victorie Iudg. 5.30 Luk. 11.22 and with joy Isa 9.3 For spoiles are used to denote riches Prov. 1.13 and 31.11 and 16.19 Vers 14. between the pot raunges or between the two-banks or rewes to weet of stones made to hang pots and kettels on in the camp or leaguer places where skullions lie and so are black meaning hereby affliction and miserie as on the contrary by the doves silver wings is meant prosperity Or we may understand it of the two bounds and limits of the enemies where they are continually assailed or indangered And this the Greek seemeth to favour turning it ana meson toon cleroon amidds or between the inheritances even as they also translate the two bardens or limits between which Isachar couched Gen. 49.14 which tribe had the Philistians at one end and Ammonites on the other that vexed them with yelow gold understand again decked with yelow or greenish gold that is of a golden colour and green as the originall word importeth Levit. 13.49 and 14.37 Vers 15. the Almighty or Alsufficient that is God named in Hebrew Shaddai of his power and sufficiencie to goe through with all things and for wasting and destroying his enemies as at the drowning of the world To this the Prophets have reference saying that shod destruction shall come from Shaddai the Almighty Isa 13.6 Ioel 1.15 scattreth or spreadeth-abroad having discomfited the kings his enemies in that his inheritance vers 10.11 So spreading is used for scattering Zach. 2.6 it shal be snow-white or thou shalt be snowy speaking to the Church or of it Whitenes denoteth victorie joy glory Rev. 2.17 and 3.5 Luk. 9 19. and whitenes as snow is a resemblance of purifying from sin Psal 51.9 Isa 1.18 Tsalmon a mount of Samaria in the tribe of Ephraim neer the citie Sichem as appeareth Iudg. 9.47.48 situate in the heart of the country Tsalmon signifieth shady or dark and so it seemeth this mount was with caues glinns and trees that grew thereon but with snow upon it was made lightsom So to be snow-white in Tsalmon is to have light in darknes joy in tribulation Vers 16. A mount of God that is high and full of divine blessings for Basan was a fat and fruitfull mountain See Psalm 22.13 and 36.7

Vers 17. leap ye insult ye proudly or lay ye wait for The originall Ratsad is no where found in Hebrew but here onely In Arabik it signifieth to espie and he in wait for the hurt of others which agreeth wel with the argument here for his seat to dwell in it The Lord chose Sion and desired it for his seat this shal be my rest for ever Psal 132.13.14 So the Lamb Christ is on mount Sion Rev. 14.1 Vers 18. Gods charret which he useth for his own service for defense of his Church and destruction of his foes see Psal 18.11 Charret is put for charrets as ship 1 King 10.22 for ships 2 Chron. 9.21 or to note out the joynt service of all the Angels as of one twise-ten-thousand or double-miriads that is innumerable in the Greek ten-thousand-fold meaning innumerable Angels The Hebrew Shinan translated Angels is not elswhere found in scripture It seemeth to come of Shanah to second as being second or next to God the cheef Princes Dan. 10.13 as those in place next Kings are called the second unto them 2 Chron. 28.7 Esth 10.3 If we referr it to the number we may turn it redoubled or manifold If to the charrets and derive it of Shanan to sharpen it may note a kind of charrets with sharp hooks used in warrs as many humane writers record 2 Maccab. 13.2 Statius lib. 10. Thebaid Macrobius c. How ever the word be doubtfull the meaning seemeth to be of Angels which the Greek here translate cheerfull-ones as of the Hebrew Shaan to be in tranquillitie and ioy and the Apostle seemeth to have reference to this place where he mentioneth mount Sion the celestiall Ierusalem and the company of ten-thousands of Angels which now we are come unto in Christ Hebr. 12.22 And Angels have appeared like fierie charrets 2 King 6.17 with them or in them as in Sinai as God was in Sinai with ten-thousands of holy ones when he gave the firie law Deut. 33.2 so is he in Sion with ten thousands of Angels Hebr. 12.22 Here the words as in seem necessarily to be supplied or the word Lord as the Lord of Sinai with like meaning as before Vers 19.
