Meaning
Flagon Heb. ashishah, (2Sam 6:19; 1Chr 16:3; Cant 2:5; Hos 3:1), meaning properly "a cake of pressed raisins." "Flagons of wine" of the Authorized Version should be, as in the Revised Version, "cakes of raisins" in all these passages. In Isa 22:24 it is the rendering of the Hebrew nebel , which properly means a bottle or vessel of skin. (Comp. 1Sam 1:24; 10:3; 25:18; 2Sam 16:1, where the same Hebrew word is used.)
