"And the men did so; and took two milch kine, and tied them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home:"
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
And the men did so,.... Made a new cart, not the lords of the Philistines, but workmen by their orders: and took two milch kine, and tied them to the
cart; with the gear that horses, asses, or oxen, were usually fastened to a carriage they drew: and shut up their calves at home; or, "in the house" (s); the cow house or stable where they used to be put; this they did to restrain them from following the cows, which would disturb them in drawing the cart. (s) "in domo", Pagninus, Montanus, &c.
