the tents of cattle These words seem to be corrupt, and it is probable that the original reading gave the name of some Arabian tribe. From a comparison of the LXX. here with the LXX. of 2 Chronicles 22:1 we conclude that this name was represented by Ἀλειμαζονεϊς in Greek. The people called Μασονῖται by Ptolemy, and Mâzin by Arabic writers are probably meant (Hommel, Expository Times, viii. 378).
