Jesse was said to have woven veils of the sanctuary.
2. Fourth of the five Midianite kings slain with Balaam after the affair of Peor (Nu 31:8). These "princes" were "dukes (i.e. vassals) of Sihon king of the Amorites" (Jos 13:21).

So, Balak was not hereditary king, but probably a Midianite; as Zippor, i.e. a bird, is like the Midianite names Oreb "crow," Zeeb "wolf"; imposed upon Moab as king by Sihon.
3. 1Ki 4:8, margin, Benhur.
4. Ne 3:9.
