Flagon

Smith’s Bible Dictionary

Flagon: a word employed in the Authorized Version to render two distinct Hebrew terms:

  1. Ashishah , (2 Samuel 6:19; 1 Chronicles 16:3; Solomon 2:5; Hosea 3:1) It really means a cake of pressed raisins. Such cakes were considered as delicacies; they were also offered to idols.
  2. Nebel , (Isaiah 22:24) is commonly used for a bottle or vessel, originally probably a skin, but in later times a piece of pottery. (Isaiah 30:14)
