**even** = and.
**Gedaliah.** See note on [Jeremiah 26:24](../../../kjv/jeremiah/26/24) ; and Compare [Jeremiah 39:14](../../../kjv/jeremiah/39/14) , and [Jeremiah 40:5](../../../kjv/jeremiah/40/5) .

Reference to Pentateuch ([Leviticus 2:1](../../../kjv/leviticus/2/1) ). Probably for the feast of the fifteenth ([Leviticus 23:23](../../../kjv/leviticus/23/23) , [Leviticus 23:34](../../../kjv/leviticus/23/34) .[Numbers 29:12](../../../kjv/numbers/29/12) .[Deuteronomy 16:13](../../../kjv/deuteronomy/16/13); [Deuteronomy 16:13](../../../kjv/deuteronomy/16/13) ).

**evil** = calamity. Hebrew. *ra'a'.* App-44 .

**Gibeon.** Now *e* l *Jib* , about five miles north of Jerusalem, where Joab treacherously slew Amasa ([2 Samuel 20:8](../../../kjv/2-samuel/20/8) , [2 Samuel 20:10](../../../kjv/2-samuel/20/10) ).
