And all the people came up after him, and the people piped with pipes, and rejoiced with great joy, so that the earth rent with the sound of them.
All the people came up after him - i:e., from the valley to the citadel of Zion, through the Jaffa gate, close by the castle of David.
And ... piped with pipes., [The chaaliyl (H2485) was a pipe made of a reed, with perforations at the side.] The Hebrew pipe was probably borrowed from that of the Egyptians, being of the same form and length, and seems to have been always used by the Hebrews on all occasions of joy and festivity.
