* And there.
   The LXX. connecting this the with preceding verse, render,
   [kai kateuthynan ton lordanen emposthen tou basileos, kai
   eleitourgesan ten leitourgian tou diabibasai ton basilea,]
   "and they made ready Jordan before the king, and did the
   necessary service to bring over the king;" and the Vulgate
   has, {et irrumpentes Jordanem, ante regem transierunt vada, ut
   traducerent domum regis,} "and breaking into Jordan, they
   passed the fords before the king, to bring over the king's
   household."  Josephus says they prepared a bridge over the
   Jordan, to facilitate his passage.

 * what he thought good.  Heb. the good in his eyes.  fell down.
