* And there.
The LXX. connecting this the with preceding verse, render,
[kai kateuthynan ton lordanen emposthen tou basileos, kai
eleitourgesan ten leitourgian tou diabibasai ton basilea,]
"and they made ready Jordan before the king, and did the
necessary service to bring over the king;" and the Vulgate
has, {et irrumpentes Jordanem, ante regem transierunt vada, ut
traducerent domum regis,} "and breaking into Jordan, they
passed the fords before the king, to bring over the king's
household." Josephus says they prepared a bridge over the
Jordan, to facilitate his passage.
* what he thought good. Heb. the good in his eyes. fell down.
Ps 66:3 81:15 Re 3:9
