Easton's Bible Dictionary: M. G. Easton, M.A., D.D.
A utensil; a flask or cup for holding water (1 Sam. 26:11, 12, 16; 1 Ki. 19:6) or oil (1 Ki. 17:12, 14, 16). In 1 Ki. 14:3 the word there so rendered means properly a bottle, as in Jer. 19:1, 10, or pitcher. In 2 Ki. 2:20, a platter or flat metal saucer is intended. The Hebrew word here used is translated "dish" in 21:13; "pans," in 2 Chr. 35:13; and "bosom," in Pr. 19:24, 26:15 (R.V., "dish").
