(11) Prophesied.—Nibbĕ’îm, “were prophesying.” Vulg., “prophetabant.” In 2Ch_18:9 the synonym mith-nabbe’îm was used, which also signifies “mad, raving” Jer_29:26). The root meaning of this word is probably visible in the Assyrian nabû, “to call, proclaim,” so that the nâbî, or prophet, was the προφήτης or spokesman of God, the herald of heaven to earth. (Comp. the name of the god Nebo, Nabi’um, who answers in the Babylonian Pantheon to the Greek Hermes.)
And prosper—i.e., and thou shalt prosper. So LXX., καὶ εὐοδωθήσῃ. Vuig., “prosperaberis.” (Comp. “This do, and live;” and Gen_20:7, “he shall pray for thee, and live thou!”)
