The Motif Searcher: one word across the Douay, the Latin, the Greek and the Hebrew.

1 Paralipomenon 2:52

And Sobal the father of Cariathiarim had sons: he that saw half of the places of rest.

Challoner: He that sawThe Latin interpreter seems to have given us here, instead of the proper names, the meaning of those names in the Hebrew. He has done in like manner, ver. 55.

The verse in its languages

Vulgate (Clementine): Fuerunt autem filii Sobal patris Cariathiarim, qui videbat dimidium requietionum.
Septuagint (Swete): καὶ ἦσαν υἱοὶ τῷ Σωβὰλ πατρὶ Καριαθιαρείμ, Αἱώ, Ἑσειρά, Μωναιώ,
Hebrew (WLC): וַיִּהְי֤וּ בָנִים֙ לְשׁוֹבָ֔ל אֲבִ֖י קִרְיַ֣ת יְעָרִ֑ים הָרֹאֶ֖ה חֲצִ֥י הַמְּנֻחֽוֹת

Haydock's commentary

He that saw, &c. The Latin interpreter seems to have given us here, instead of the proper names, the meaning of those names in the Hebrew. He has done in like manner, ver. 55., (Challoner) and in many other places. (Du Hamel)

Hebrew, "had sons, haroe cha hamenuchoth, (Haydock) or Raia, Roeh, (chap. iv. 2.) and Chazi of the canton of Menuchat, near Gabaa, chap. viii. 6., and Judges xx. 43. Septuagint mention Manocho, Josue xv. 60.

We may also translate "the father of Cariathiarim, the prince of half Manuchat, had sons who peopled different cities." It seems too harsh to call a man "half the place of rest," or "seeing from the moiety of rest," though the Hebrew has this literal signification. The Septuagint give proper names, (Calmet) "Araa, Esei, Ammanith," (but [in] ver. 55, half of Manath) and the Protestants, "Haroeh and half of the Manahattites." (Haydock)

Sobal left to his descendants half the country which he had quietly occupied.
