* the flocks.
   Instead of {haadarim,} "the flocks," the Samaritan reads
   {haroin,} "the shepherds," as does also the Arabic in Walton's
   Polyglott.  This verse describes what was usually done by some
   mutual compact among the shepherds, and shows the purpose for
   which the flocks lay by the well; for the stone was not
   removed till all the flocks had been collected.  Scott.
