"Moreover he provided him cities, and possessions of flocks and herds in abundance; for God had given him very much substance." — 2 Chronicles 32:29 (ASV)
Moreover he provided him cities. — And he made him watch-towers. The word rendered “cities” (ârîm) appears in this connection to mean watch-towers or forts for the protection of the flocks and herds. Isaiah 1:8 (a besieged city); 2 Kings 17:9; 2 Chronicles 26:10.
Had given. — Grave.
Substance. — Wealth in kind, especially cattle (2 Chronicles 31:3).
