And when David had made an end of offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD 19 [of hosts]. And he dealt among all the people, [even among the whole multitude] of Israel, both [to] man and woman, to each person one caked of bread, and one portion and one cake of raisins. they sacrificed seven bullocks and seven rams.

A. seems to give the initial sacrifice, B. the completed no. of sacrifices. b A. 'danced' (7). B. was clothed'). B. is apparently a mistaken reading for A.; the word in the sense of B. is not used elsewhere (but see the Chaldean word for hat in Dan. 3. 21). B. drifts off for the moment to incorporate a Levitical note, and then returns. This is the only occasion on which a 'layman' is said to have worn the Levitical ephod. Whilst A. and B. refer to the linen ephod, B. also refers to the upper garment (the robe of the ephod, Ex. 28. 31). Cf. Samuel's coat or mantle, 1 Sam. 2. 19; 28. 14.
