VERSE 7 
 - A.M. 2983.  B.C. 1021.  An. Ex. Is. 470.  forty years.
  As David reigned in the whole only forty years, this reading
  is evidently corrupt, though supported by the commonly printed
  Vulgate, LXX., and Chaldee.  But the Syriac, Arabic, Josephus,
  Theodoret, the Sixtine edition of the Vulgate, and several
  MSS. of the same version, read four years; and it is highly
  probable that {arbƒim,} forty, is an error for {arbƒ,} four,
  though not supported by any Hebrew MS. yet discovered.  Two of
  those collated by Dr. Kennicott, however, have {yom,} "day,"
  instead of {shanah,} "year," i.e., forty days instead of forty
  years; but this is not sufficient to outweigh the other
  authorities.

VERSE 22 
 - and all the little.
  Sir John Chardin informs us,in a MS. note on this place, that

  especially the Arabs, to carry their whole family with them
  when they go to war.

   * :22


VERSE 23 
 - all the country.
   * Ro 12:15
- the brook.
  The brook Kidron, which is but a few paces broad, runs along
  the valley of Jehoshaphat, east of Jerusalem, to the
  south-west corner of the city, and then, turning to the
  south-east, empties itself into the Dead Sea.  Like the
  Ilissus, it is dry at least nine months in the year, being
  only furnished with water in the winter, and after heavy
  rains:  its bed is narrow and deep, which indicates that it
  must formerly have been the channel for waters which have
  found some other, and probably subterraneous course.

 - the ascent.
   * Zec 14:4 Lu 19:29,37; 21:37; 22:39 Ac 1:12
- mount Olivet.
  Mount Olivet, so called from its abounding with olive trees,
  is situated east of Jerusalem, being separated from it only by
  the valley of Jehoshaphat and the brook Kidron.  Josephus says
  it is five stadia, i.e., 625 geometrical paces from Jerusalem;
  and St. Luke (Ac 1:12) says it is a Sabbath day's journey, or
  about eight stadia distant, i.e., to the summit.  It forms
  part of a ridge of limestone hills, extending from north to
  south for about a mile; and it is described as having three,
  or, according to others, four summits; the central and highest
  of which overlooks the whole of the city, over whose streets
  and walls the eye roves as if in the survey of a model.

- and wept as he went up.  Heb. going up and weeping.
   * Ps 42:3-11; 43:1,2,5 Lu 19:41
- his head covered.
  This custom was only practised by persons in great distress,
  or when convicted of great crimes.  Thus Darius, when informed
  by Tyriotes, the eunuch, that his queen was dead, and that she
  had suffered no violence from Alexander, covered his head, and
  wept a long time; then throwing off the garment that covered
  him, he thanked the gods for Alexander's moderation and
  justice.

- barefoot.
