for the stalls, cribs — feeding places for livestock
This term appears in 2 Chronicles 32:28, describing Hezekiah's building projects: storehouses for produce 'and stalls for all kinds of cattle.' The word denotes cribs, mangers, or stalls where animals are fed and housed. It can also enumerate animals by their stalls (similar to English 'head' of cattle). The context celebrates Hezekiah's prosperity and administrative achievements, including agricultural infrastructure that supported his kingdom's economic strength and military readiness.
