when I saw among the spoil a goodly Babylonian mantle, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight, then I coveted them, and took them; and, behold, they are hid in the earth in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it.
AQUILA translates the original, אדרת שנער addereth shinar, by στολην βαβυλονικην, a Babylonish robe; SYMMACHUS, ενδυμα συναρ, a robe of Synar; the SEPTUAGINT, ψιλην ποικιλην, a fine garment of different colours; and the VULGATE, pallium coccineum, a scarlet cloak. There is no doubt it was both beautiful and costly, and on these grounds it was coveted by Achan.
