   This was the ancient method of burying, whether heroes or
   traitors; the heap of stones being designed to perpetuate the
   memory of the event, whether good or bad.  The Arabs in
   general make use of no other monument than a heap of stones
   over a grave.  Thus, in an Arabic poem, it is related, that
   Hatim the father, and Adi the grandfather of Kais, having been
   murdered, at a time before Kais was capable of reflection, his
   mother kept it a profound secret; and in order to guard him
   against having any suspicion, she collected a parcel of stone
   on two hillocks in the neighbourhood, and told her son that
   the one was the grave of his father, and the other of his
   grandfather.  The ancient cairns in Ireland and Scotland, and
   the tumuli in England, are of this kind.

 * Absalom's place.
   Josephus says there was in his time, about two furlongs from
   Jerusalem, a marble pillar called Absalom's hand, as it is in
   the Hebrew, (See note on 1 Sa 15:12;) and there is one shown
   to the present day, in the valley of Jehoshaphat, which,
   though comparatively a modern structure, probably occupies the
   site of the original one set up by Absalom.

   down upon his face.
   This act was not only in reverence to the king, but in humble
   adoration of God, whose name he praises for this victory.  The
   more our hearts are fixed and enlarged, in thanksgiving to God
   for our mercies, the better disposed we shall be to bear with
   patience the afflictions mixed with them.

   Cushi was the man Joab ordered to carry the tidings to David.
   He was an Ethiopian, as his name signifies, and some think he
   was so by birth--a black, who waited on Joab, probably one of
   the ten who had helped to dispatch Absalom; though it was
   dangerous for one of those to bring the news to David, lest
   his fate should be the same with theirs that reported the
   death of Saul and Ishbosheth to him.
16468
 * The enemies.
   Thus Cushi obliquely and slowly informs David of the death of
   his son Absalom.

  9  The Israelites are earnest to bring the king back.
 11  David sends to the priests to incite them of Judah.
 18  Shimei is pardoned;

 41  The Israelites expostulate with Judah for bringing home the
     king without them.

 # Ge 31:27

 # 15:30
 * O my son.
   It is allowed by competent critics that the lamentation of
   David over his son, of which this forms a part, is exceedingly
   pathetic; and Calmet properly remarks, that the frequent
   repetition of the name of the deceased is common in the
   language of lamentation.

 # 18:33
16474
 * Thou hast.
   Every one must admit that David's immoderate grief for his
   rebellious son was imprudent, and that Joab's firm and
   sensible reproof was necessary to arouse him to a sense of his
   duty to his people:  but, in his manner, Joab far exceeded the
   bounds of that reverence which a servant owes to his master,
   or a subject to his prince.

 # Ne 9:27 Ps 3:8 18:47,48

 # Ge 34:3 Pr 19:15 Isa 40:1 Ho 2:14 *marg:

 # Pr 14:28
 * all the evil.
 # Ps 71:4-6,9-11,18-20 129:1,2
16477
 * sat in the gate.
   How prudently and mildly David took the reproof and counsel
   given him!  He shook off his grief, anointed his head, and
   washed his face, that he might not appear unto men to mourn,
   and then made his appearance at the gate of the city, which
   was the public place of resort for the hearing of causes and
   giving judgment, as well as a place to ratify special
   bargains.  Thither the people flocked to congratulate him on
   his and their safety, and that all was well.  When we are
   convinced of a fault, we must amend, though we are  told of it
   by our inferiors in a way which is peculiarly painful to our
   natural feelings.  This ancient custom still obtains in the
   East; for when Dr. Pococke returned from viewing the town of
   ancient Byblus, he says, "The sheik and the elders were
   sitting in the gate of the city, after the ancient manner, and
   I sat awhile with them."

16483
 * he bowed.
   The measures that he pursued were the best calculated that
   could be adopted for accomplishing this salutary end.  David
   appears to take no notice of their infidelity, but rather to
   place confidence in them, that their confidence in him might
   be naturally excited; and to oblige them yet farther, purposes
   to make Amasa general of the army, instead of Joab.

16484
 * Gilgal.
 # Jos 5:9 1Sa 11:14,15
16485
 * Shimei.
   It appears that Shimei was a powerful chieftain in the land;
   for he had here in his retinue no less than a thousand men.

   The LXX. connecting this the with preceding verse, render,
   [kai kateuthynan ton lordanen emposthen tou basileos, kai
   eleitourgesan ten leitourgian tou diabibasai ton basilea,]
   "and they made ready Jordan before the king, and did the
   necessary service to bring over the king;" and the Vulgate
   has, {et irrumpentes Jordanem, ante regem transierunt vada, ut
   traducerent domum regis,} "and breaking into Jordan, they
   passed the fords before the king, to bring over the king's
   household."  Josephus says they prepared a bridge over the
   Jordan, to facilitate his passage.

 # 9:6 16:3
 * dressed his feet.
   Literally, made his feet, which seems to mean washing the feet
   paring the nails, and perhaps anointing or otherwise perfuming
   them, if not tinging the nails with henna; see Note on De
   21:12.  Sir John Chardin, in his MS. note on this place,
   informs us, that it is customary in the East to have as much
   care of the feet as the hands; and that their barbers cut and
   adjust the nails with a proper instrument, because they often
   go barefoot.  The nails of the toes of the mummies inspected
   in London in 1763, of which an account is given in the
   Philosophical Transactions for 1764, seem to have been tinged
   with some reddish colour.

 # 15:30 Isa 15:2 Jer 41:5 Mt 6:16 Ro 12:15 Heb 13:3
 * trimmed.
   Literally, made his beard, which may mean, combing, curling,
   and perfuming it.  But Mr. Morier says that they almost
   universally dye the beard black, by successive layers of a
   paste made of henna, and another made of the leaf of the
   indigo:  the first tinging with an orange colour, and the next
   with a dark bottle green, which becomes jet black when exposed
   to the air for twenty-four hours.
