The rereward. (see Jos_5:9) Literally, the gathering together and then the body of troops which collects the stragglers, the rear guard, as in Num_10:25 Isa_52:12 Isa_58:8. Calvin renders here by quia cogebat agmen. But the LXX and Vulgate render by o loipo and vulgus reliquum. So Luther, der Haufe. The LXX, however, in ver. 9 translates the same word by ouragountev , i.e., " qui extremum agmen ducunt, et quasi caudam efficiunt" (Rosenmuller). The word is not the same as that translated rereward in 1Sa_29:2, the only other place where our version has "rereward," where there can be no question of the rendering being correct, since the literal meaning there is the hindermost.
