This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Of the house; of the country.
Togarmah; Armenia the Lesser, or Phrygia, Galatia, or Cappadocia, or Paphlagonia; all which countries, as they are neighbours to each other, so they abounded in horses; and as they had many for number, so they had good for quality, and furnished their neighbours; it is reported the Cappadocians paid two thousand horses yearly tribute to the Persians. And as they bordered on each other, it is likely they might be reckoned thus together.
Horsemen; it is like with either many horses, or some choice ones, which they sold, they might sell their grooms, as best able to manage and keep those horses.
Mules; the countries above mentioned, especially Cappadocia, had many mules, which they sold to their neighbours.
Mules, which are a mixed creature of a mare and he-ass.
