1) [line 2] "...L'CHOL DEVAR HA'MACHLEKOS...CHODESH B'CHODESH..." - "[And the people of Yisrael according to their number, the heads of fathers' houses and captains of thousands and hundreds, and their officers who served the king] in all matters concerning the divisions that came and went, *month after month* throughout the year, [each division numbering twenty-four thousand.]" (Divrei ha'Yamim I 27:1)

2) [line 9] HARVACHAH - income; profit
*3*) [line 9] AMAR RAV, ANACHAH SHOVERES... - the connection between this and the previous discussion in the Gemara is that in both of them, Rav and Rebbi Yochanan argue, and Rebbi Yochanan doubles the amount that Rav states (RASHI). The two arguments might have a logical connection as well. Because Rebbi Yochanan considers a sigh to be twice as painful as Rav considers it to be, he insists that the husband should be at home with his wife twice as long as Rav says. The HAGAHOS YA'AVETZ adds that the Gemara is interested in proving that a sigh makes Tashmish more difficult (which explains the expression "Shivron *Masnayim*" with relation to a sigh).
