* the king of the Ammonites.
We find here, that he brought the Ammonites under a heavy
tribute for three years; but whether this was the effect of
his prevailing against them, is not so evident. Some think
that they paid this tribute for three years, and then
revolted; that, in consequence, he attacked them, and their
utter subjection was the result.

* ten thousand.
Rather, "ten thousand {cors} (korim) of wheat." The {cor} was
same as the {homer,} and contained about 32; pecks 1; pint.
* So much. Heb. This.
