Historical Commentaries

Scholarly Analysis and Interpretation.

John Gill's Exposition (1746-63)

Storehouses also for the increase of corn, and wine, and oil,.... The produce of his fields, vineyards, and oliveyards, such as David had, with persons over them, see 1-Chronicles 27:25.
and stands for all manner of beasts; as oxen, horses, camels, and asses, see 2-Chronicles 9:25.
and cotes for flocks; folds for sheep.

C.F. Keil and F. Delitzsch's Comm. (1857-78)

Storehouses also (magazines) for the agricultural produce, and stalls for all manner of cattle, and stalls for the herds, like David (1-Chronicles 27:25.) and Uzziah (2-Chronicles 26:10). מסכּנות is a transposition of מכנסות, storehouses, from כּנס, to heap up. "Cattle and cattle" = all kinds of cattle. ארות, synonymous with אריות (2-Chronicles 9:5), stables or stalls for cattle. The word אורות, which occurs only here, must have the same signification, and be held to be a transposed form of that word.
