19 The kings came and fought: then fought the kings of Canaan in Thaanach and by the waters of Megiddo: they received no gain of money.
19 The kinges came and fought: then fought the kinges of Chanaan in Thaanach and by the waters of Megiddo: they receaued no gayne of money.

She saith in the plural number that kings came and fought: because peradventure Sisera had very many other rulers joined with him, who although they were not there in person, they had for all that their hosts there. Or else by a figurative kind of speech the plural number is put for the singular number, as is this sentence of the Poet. But we have gone a great space of the sea.1 Cicero also saith, we have deceived the people, we seemed to have been orators. Thaanah, and Megiddo, seemed to have ben rivers in the tribe of Manasseh which had by them two Cities of the same names, not far from mount Thabor.

Nilchamiu Are Nilchamiu, that is they fought then, they fought as Cicero also saith: No man looketh upon the matter, no man considereth the reason, &c. so that between two words repeated he putteth this one word (no man) This word also Melachim that in kings is repeated.
