1Ch 27:29-30. Over the herds that fed in Sharon — A place famous for its fruitfulness, (see Isa 33:9; Isa 35:2,) which lay about Lidda and Joppa. David seems to have kept great store of cattle in his pastures, particularly in this place. Over the camels was Obil the Ishmaelite — An Ishmaelite was the fittest person to look after the breed of camels, because that country abounded with them, and they best understood their nature. And over the asses, &c. — This was a great part of men’s riches in old times.

Sharon. (see 1Ch_5:16, 1Ch_5:21) It means with the article, which, with one exception, always accompanies it, "the level laud," and on the west of the Jordan exactly corresponds with the Mishor on the east, a word of identical signification with Sharon. The tract of pasture-land which it designated stretched from Carmel to Joppa (Stanley"s "Sinai and Palestine," edit. 1866, pp. 485, 260, 264). The valleys here intended are not specified.
