פירוש על מלכים א 20:27

And provisioned. They armed themselves with supplies for the war; i.e., with weapons and all necessities of war.

And provisioned. They were provisioned.¹⁴Alternatively, וכלכלו means and they all [=כל] were accounted for and none were missing.—Radak

Like two flocks of goats. [חשפי means] “flocks of goats,”¹⁵I.e., they are small in number in comparison with Arom’s army which “filled the land.”. The two flocks consisted of one group of youths of the officers of the provinces and another group of 7000 men.—Metzudas Dovid but there is no similar word [in Scripture]. However, Menachem classifies [חשפי] as an expression of revelation, as in, “by uncovering [מחשוף] the white,”¹⁶Bereishis 30:37. [and as in,] “bare [חשפי] a leg.”¹⁷Yeshayahu 47:2. An expression of “revelation” can be applied to flocks of goats, as in, “who bared [שגלשו] from Mount Gilad,”¹⁸Shir Hashirim 4:1. [i.e.,] when they come down from the mountain, the mountain is bared.
