1 Chronicles 27:25 -

For storehouses , read, as in former clause, treasures. The suggestion of the second half of this verse in comparison with the first is that Azmaveth's charge was over treasures in Jerusalem. For the castles, see 2 Chronicles 17:12 ; 2 Chronicles 27:4 . The word אוֹצָר , though the same in both clauses, may probably enough cover precious treasure, as of gold, silver, costly raiment, etc. ( 1 Kings 14:26 ; 1 Kings 15:18 ), more particularly in the first clause, and grain, fruit, etc. ( 2 Chronicles 11:11 ), in the latter, for the word has distinctly this double application. (See for some illustration of this verse also, Sallust; 'De Belle Jugurth.,' 12.)
