And the king of Israel... sat either of them on his throne. — Rather, Now the king of Israel... were sitting each on his throne.
Clothed in their robes. — The pronoun, which is indispensable if this be the meaning, is wanting in the Hebrew. The Syriac has probably preserved the original reading: “Clothed in raiment spotted white and black.” (Vid. infr.)
And they sat. — Were sitting. Explanatory addition by chronicler.
A void place. — A threshingfloor. LXX., ἐν τῷ εὐρυχώρῳ, “in the open ground;” Vulg., “in a threshing. floor.” The word is probably corrupt, and may have originated out of bĕruddîm, “spotted,” i.e., perhaps embroidered; an epithet of robes.
Prophesied. — Were prophesying. “Vaticina-bantur,” Vulg.
