- The whole of this little episode is extremely interesting, and
- contains an affecting description of the infirmities of old
- age. The venerable and kind Barzillai was fourscore years
- old; his ear was become dull of hearing, and his relish for
- even royal dainties was gone: the evil days had arrived in
- which he was constrained to say, "I have no pleasure in them."
- (Ec 12:1.) As he was too old either to enjoy the pleasures of
- a court, or to be of any further service to the king, he
- finishes his affecting address to the aged monarch with the
- request, that he would suffer him to enjoy what old men
- naturally desire, to "die in mine own city, and be buried by
- the grave of my father and mother;" at the same time
- commending his son Chimham to his kind offices.
-

- Whatever value or respect the men of Israel at this time

- The confinement and retired maintenance of these women was the
- only measure which in justice and prudence could be adopted.
- In China, when an emperor dies, all his women are removed to
- an edifice called the palace of chastity, situated within the
- palace, in which they are shut up for the remainder of their

- Thevenot says, that among the Turks it is a great afront to
- take one by the beard, unless it be to kiss him, in which case
- they often do it. D'Arvieux, describing an assembly of Arab
- emirs at an entertainment, says, "After the usual civilities,
- caresses, kissings of the beard, and of the hand, which every
- one gave and received according to his rank and dignity, they
- sat down upon mats." The doing this by the Arab emirs
- corresponds with the conduct of Joab, and illustrates this
- horrid assassination.

- * Abel.
- Or rather, probably, Abel of Beth-Maachah, as in the next
- verse. It appears, from Joab having marched "through all the
- tribes of Israel," to have been situated in the northern
- confines of the land of Israel, and in the half tribe of
- Manasseh, east of Jordan, as that was the situation of
- Maachah, to which it belonged. This agrees with the situation
- of the Abela which Eusebius and Jerome place between Paneas,
- or Cæsarea Philippi, and Damascus. Josephus says it was a
- fortified city, and a metropolis of the Israelites; and also
- that it belonged to the ten tribes, having been taken from the
- king of Damascus.

- So LXX. generally render {solelah,} by [proschoma or choma;]
- which latter is described by Potter as "a mount, which was

- stones, or secured with strong rafters; the fore part only,
- being by degrees to be moved near the walls, remained bare."

- This Adriel did not marry Michal, Saul's younger daughter, but
- Merab, 1 Sa 18:19; Michael being married to David, and
- afterwards to Phaltiel; though it is here said she bore
- {(yaledah,} not brought up, as falsely rendered, five sons to
- Adriel. Two of Dr. Kennicott's MSS., however, have Merab,
- instead of Michal; the Syriac and Arabic have Nadab; and the
- Chaldee renders the passage thus: "And the five sons of Merab
- which Michal the daughter of Saul brought up, which she
- brought forth to Adriel the son of Barzillai."

- commence about October. For five months did this
