- # Ps 19:7
- * so was.
- The first counsel of this sagacious but wicked man to Absalom
- was more like an oracle of Satan, both for subtlety and
- atrocity. He advised the shameless measure just detailed, in
- order to establish Absalom, and to preclude the possibility of
- a reconciliation with David. The wives of a conquered king
- were always the property of the conqueror; and in possessing
- these he appeared to possess the right to the kingdom.

- This is a very beautiful and expressive figure. The dew in
- Palestine, and other warm climates, falls fast, sudden, and
- heavy; and it falls upon every spot of earth, so that not a
- blade of grass escapes it. It is therefore no inapt emblem of
- a numerous and active army; and it was, perhaps, for this
- reason that the Romans called their light armed forces
- {rorarii.}

- In the same manner the king of Maturan, in Java, proposed
- pulling down a tower which the Dutch had built, by making his
- people and elephants pull at a number of chains, and ropes of
- cocoa-nut bark, thrown around it.

- These no doubt consisted of skins of beasts, mats, carpets,
- and such like.
-
- # 16:1,2 1Sa 25:18 Isa 32:8
- * basons. or, cups.
- {Sappoth,} probably wooden bowls, such as the Arabs still eat
- out of, and knead their bread in.
-
- * earthen vessels.
- {Keley yotzair}, literally, "vessels of the potter." So when
- Dr. Perry visited the temple of Luxor in Egypt, he says, "We
- were entertained by the Caliph here with great civility and
- favour; he sent us, in return of our presents, several sheep,
- a good quantity of eggs, {bardacks,}" etc. The {bardacks,} he
- informs us, were earthen vessels, used "to cool and refresh
- their water in, by means of which it drinks very cool and
- pleasant in the hottest seasons of the year." See Harmer, ch.
- vi.
-
- # Ob 1:3
- * wheat.
- Mr. Jones says, "Travellers use {zumeet, tumeet,} and
- {limereece.} {Zumeet} is flour mixed with honey, butter, and
- spice; {tumeet} is flour done up with organ oil: and
- {limereece} is flour mixed with water, for drink. This
- quenches thirst much better than water alone, satisfies a
- hungry appetite; cools and refreshes tired and weary spirits,"
- etc.

- # 17:2 1Ki 22:31 Zec 13:7
- * care for us. Heb. set their heart on us. but now.
- The particle {âttah,} Now, is doubtless a mistake for the
- pronoun {attah,} Thou: and so it appears to have been read by
- the LXX., Vulgate, and Chaldee, and by two of Kennicott's and
- De Rossi's MSS.
-
- * worth, etc. Heb. as ten thousand of us.

- # 24 Isa 28:6
- * by hundreds.
- David's small company, by this time, was greatly recruited;
- but what its number was we cannot tell. Josephus says it
- amounted only to 4,000 men.
-
- # 1 1Sa 29:2

- # 12
- 16442
- * wood of Ephraim.
- The wood of Ephraim was evidently beyond Jordan, and
- apparently not far from Mahanaim; and it is supposed to be the
- place where the Ephraimites were slain by Jephthah.
-
- # Jos 17:15,18 Jud 12:4-6

- # 2:17 15:6 19:41-43

- # 2:26,31 2Ch 13:16,17 28:6
- 16444
- * in the wood.
- That is, probably, many more were slain in pursuit through the
- wood than in the battle, by falling into swamps, pits, etc.,
- and being entangled and cut down by David's men. Such is the
- relation of Josephus; but the Chaldee, Syriac, and Arabic
- state, that they were devoured by wild beasts in the wood.
-
- # Ex 15:10 Jos 10:11 Jud 5:20,21 1Ki 20:30 Ps 3:7 43:1
- * devoured more. Heb. multiplied to devour.
- 16445
- * his head.
- Riding furiously under the thick boughs of a great oak, which
- hung low and had never been cropped, either the twisted
- branches, or some low forked bough of the tree, caught him by
- the neck, or, as some think, by the loops into which his long
- hair had been pinned, which had been so much his pride, and
- was now justly made a halter for him. He may have hung so low
- from the bough, in consequence of the length of his hair, that
- he could not use his hands to help himself, or so entangled
- that his hands were bound, so that the more he struggled the
- more he was embarrassed. This set him up as a fair mark to
- the servants of David; and although David would have spared
- his rebellious son, if his orders had been executed, yet he
- could not turn the sword of Divine justice, in executing the
- just, righteous sentence of death on this traitorous son.
