- * O Lord.
- This verse is evidently deficient. The LXX. have [kyrios ho
- Theos Israel oiden,] "The Lord God of Israel doth know;" the
- Syraic and Arabic, "The Lord God of Israel is witness;" either
- of which makes good sense. But two of Dr. Kennicott's MSS.
- supply the word {chai,} "liveth;" and the text reads thus:
- "As the Lord God of Israel liveth, when I have sounded my
- father,--if there be good unto David, and I then send not unto
- thee," etc.; which is a still better sense.

- Among the forms of salutation and compliment used in Persia,
- one was, "according to my mode of notation in italics, {Já i
- sháma khali bud pish yárán,} signifying, Thy place or seat was
- empty among thy friends. This phrase, or the greater part of
- it, was frequently addressed to myself when coming into a
- circle of Persian acquaintances, after an absence of several
- days or weeks. It reminded me of a passage in the First book
- of Samuel, (ch. 20:18.) And thou shalt be missed, because thy
- seat will be empty. And again, David's place was empty." Sir
- W. Ouseley's Travels, vol i. preface, p.16.

- This reflection on the mother of Jonathan, by the passionate
- monarch, reflects more dishonour on himself than on his brave
- and noble minded son. Mungo Park gives an instance of the
- prevalence of the same principles in Africa; for he says,
- "Maternal affection is every where conspicuous among the
- Africans, and creates a correspondent return of tenderness in
- the child. 'Strike me,' said my attendant, 'but do not curse
- my mother.' I found the same sentiment to prevail universally
- in all parts of Africa." King Saul, unable to villify Jonathan
- to his own satisfaction by personal reproaches, outstepped the
- ordinary abuse of his day, and proceeded to that which was
- designed to produce unusual vexation, and vented the
- bitterness of his mind by maligning the character of his own
- wife and Jonathan's mother.

- The separation of two such faithful friends was equally
- grievous to them both, but David's case was the more
- deplorable: for when Jonathan was returning to his family and
- friends, David was leaving all his comforts, even those of
- God's sanctuary, and therefore his grief exceeded Jonathan's;
- or, perhaps it was because his temper was more tender and his
- passions stronger. They referred each other to the covenant
- of friendship that was between them, both of them being
- comforted thereby in this very mournful separation:--"We have
- sworn both of us in the name of the Lord, for ourselves and
- our heirs, that we and they will be faithful and kind to each
- other from generation to generation."

- * Nob.
- Nob appears to have been a sacerdotal city of Benjamin or
- Ephraim. Jerome says, that in his time the ruins of it might
- be seen not far from Diospolis or Lydda. But the Rabbins
- assert that Jerusalem might be seen from this town. The
- tabernacle resided some time at Nob; and after it was
- destroyed, it was removed to Gibeon; "and the day of Nob and
- Gibeon were fifty-seven years." Maimonides in
- Bethhabbechirah, c. 1.

- The whole of this is a gross falsehood; and which was attended
- with the most fatal consequences. It is well known that from
- all antiquity it was held no crime to tell a lie in order to
- save life. Thus Diphilon [Hypo lambano to pseudas epi sotevea
- legomenon, ouden peripoieisthai duscheres.] "I hold it right
- to tell a lie for safety: nothing should be avoided to save
- life." A heathen may say or sing thus: but no Christian can
- act thus and save his soul, though he may save his life.

- Jerome says there was a large town called Gath, in the way
- from Eleutheropolis to Gaza; and Eusebius speaks of another
- Gath, five miles from Eleutheropolis, towards Lydda, (and
- consequently different from that mentioned by Jerome;) and
- also of another Gath, between Jamnia and Antipatris. It
- appears to have been the extreme boundary of the Philistine
- territory in one direction, as Ekron was on the other, (ch.
- 7:14; 17:52,) and lay near Mareshah, (2 Ch 11:8. Mic 1:14,)
- which agrees pretty well with the position assigned it by
- Jerome. But Reland and Dr. Wells agree with Eusebius; and the
- authors of the Universal History (b. i. c. 7) place it about
- six miles form Jamnia, fourteen south of Joppa, and thirty-two
- west of Jerusalem.
