flag´un : The translation of אשׁישׁה , 'ăshı̄shāh , in the King James Version in 2 Samuel 6:19; 1 Chronicles 16:3; Song of Solomon 2:5; Hosea 3:1 . In all, these passages the Revised Version (British and American) reads "cake of raisins" or "raisins." It was probably a pressed raisin cake. the King James Version and the Revised Version (British and American) read "flagons," in Isaiah 22:24 as a rendering of נבלים , nebhālı̄m , which is elsewhere (1 Samuel 1:24; 1 Samuel 10:3; 2 Samuel 16:1 , etc.) rendered "bottles," the Revised Version, margin "skins." These were the bags or bottles made of the whole skin of a kid, goat or other animal. the Revised Version (British and American) has "flagons" in Exodus 25:29 and Exodus 37:16 as translation of קשׁות , ḳeshāwōth , a golden jug or jar used in the tabernacle from which the drink offerings were poured out. The same word is translated "cups" in Numbers 4:7 .
