3. Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary

Flagon
   Heb. ashishah, (2 Sam. 6:19; 1 Chr. 16:3; Cant. 2:5; Hos. 3:1),
   meaning properly "a cake of pressed raisins." "Flagons of wine"
   of the Authorized Version should be, as in the Revised Version,
   "cakes of raisins" in all these passages. In Isa. 22:24 it is
   the rendering of the Hebrew _nebel_, which properly means a
   bottle or vessel of skin. (Comp. 1 Sam. 1:24; 10:3; 25:18; 2
   Sam. 16:1, where the same Hebrew word is used.)
