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). Sihon "had fought against the former king of Moab, and taken all his land" (Nu 21:26).

3. 1Ki 4:8, margin, Benhur.
4. Ne 3:9.
