Flagon. A word employed in the Authorized Version to render two distinct Hebrew terms:

1. Ashishah, 2 Samuel 6:19; 1 Chronicles 16:3; Song of Solomon 2:5; Hosea 3:1. It really means a cake of pressed raisins. Such cakes were considered as delicacies; they were also offered to idols.

2. Nebel, Isaiah 22:24 is commonly used for a bottle or vessel, originally probably a skin, but in later times, a piece of pottery. Isaiah 30:14.
