oxen . In the parallel passage of Kings , instead of bekarim , "oxen ," we have pekaim , "knops ," in the form of colocynths. (See note on 1 Kings 6 . 18 , and see note on 2 Kings 4 . 39); which last is supposed by able critics to be the reading which ought to received be here; bekarim , "oxen ," being a mistake for pekaim , "knops." Houbigant , however , contends that the words in both places are right; but that bakar does not signify an ox here , but a large kind of grape , according to its meaning in Arabic. But Dr. A. Clarke states that bakar , or bakarat , has no such meaning in Arabic , though the phrase aino 'lbikri , or "ox-eye ," signifies a species of black grape , very large , and of incredible sweetness; that consequently the criticism of this great man is not solid; and that the likeliest method of reconciling the two places is to suppose a change in the letters as above.

three thousand baths . In the parallel passage , it is said to hold only two thousand baths; which some think may be reconciled by supposing that the quantity of water which was commonly in it was 2 ,000 baths , but that , if filled up to the top , it would hold 3 ,000. But , as we have already seen that the Babylonish cubit was less than that of the ancient Hebrews , it might be the same with measures of capacity; so that 2 ,000 of the ancient Jewish baths might have been equal to 3 ,000 of those used after the captivity. The Targum cuts the knot . "It received 3 ,000 baths of dry measure , and held 2 ,000 of liquid measure." See note on 1 Kings 7 . 26. 1 Kings 7 . 26
