Flagon @ Heb. ashishah, ( 2Samuel:6:19; 1Chronicles:16:3; Cant. 2:5; Hosea: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 Isaiah:22:24 it is the rendering of the Hebrew _nebel_, which properly means a bottle or vessel of skin. (Comp. 1Samuel:1:241Samuel:10:31Samuel:25:18 ; 2Samuel:16:1, where the same Hebrew word is used.)
