2 Chronicles 26:10

the desert R.V. the wilderness (where the pastures were: cp. Psalms 65:12).

digged many wells R.V. hewed out many cisterns.

both in the low country, and in the plains R.V. in the lowland also, and in the plain (mg. table land). For the "lowland" (Heb. Shephçlah) see 2 Chronicles 1:15 (note). "The table land" (Heb. Mishor) is the name of the high pasture lands east of Jordan; apparently the part occupied by the Ammonites whom Uzziah had subdued is meant here.

husbandmenalso] R.V. and he had husbandmen.

Carmel R.V. the fruitful fields. "Carmel" is not always a proper name, nor does it always refer to the well-known mountain. In 1 Samuel 25:2 it designates a spot in the south of Judah near Maon; in 2 Kings 19:23 "of his Carmel" (A.V.) should be "of his fruitful field" (R.V.).
