    VERSE 1
    - And there.
       * 2Sa 19:41-43 Ps 34:19
    - a man.
       * 2Sa 23:6 De 13:13 Jud 19:22 1Sa 2:12; 30:22 Ps 17:13 Pr 26:21
       * Hab 1:12,13

       * 2Sa 19:15,40,41 2Ch 10:17
    
    
    VERSE 3 
     - ten women.
       * 2Sa 15:16; 16:21,22
    - and put.
      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
      lives.
    
    - ward.  Heb. an house of ward.
       * Ge 40:3

      of life.

    - do us.
       * 2Sa 19:7
    - thy lord's.
       * 2Sa 11:11 1Ki 1:33
    - escape us.  Heb. deliver himself from our eyes.

        * :23; 8:16,18; 15:18; 23:22,23 1Ki 1:38,44

       * 2Sa 2:13; 3:30
    - Amasa.
       * :4,5
    
    
    VERSE 9 
     - Art thou.
       * Ps 55:21 Pr 26:24-26 Mic 7:2
    - took Amasa.
      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.
    
    - to kiss him.
       * Mt 26:48,49 Lu 22:47,48
    
    
    VERSE 10 
     - in Joab's.
       * :9 Jud 3:21 1Ch 12:2
    - he smote.

    - and shed.
       * Ac 1:18,19
    - struck him not again.  Heb. doubled not his stroke.
       * 1Sa 26:8
    
    
    VERSE 11 
     - He that.
       * :6,7,13,21
    - for David.
       * :4 2Ki 9:32
    
    VERSE 12
        * 2Sa 17:25 Ps 9:16; 55:23 Pr 24:21,22
    
    
    VERSE 13 
     - the highway.
       * :12,13 Nu 20:19 Jud 21:19 1Sa 6:12 2Ki 18:17 Pr 16:17 Isa 7:3
       * Isa 36:2; 62:10 Jer 31:21 Mr 10:46
    
    
    VERSE 14 
     - 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 Caesarea 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.
    
       * 1Ki 15:20 2Ki 15:29 2Ch 16:4
    - Berites.
       * Jos 18:25
    - Beeroth.
    
    
    VERSE 15 
     - cast up.
       * 2Ki 19:32 Jer 32:24; 33:4 Lu 19:43
    - a bank.
      So LXX. generally render {solelah,} by [                    ;]
      which latter is described by Potter as "a mount, which was
      raised so high as to equal, if not exceed, the top of the
      besieged walls.  The sides were walled in with bricks or
      stones, or secured with strong rafters; the fore part only,
      being by degrees to be moved near the walls, remained bare."
    
    - it stood in the trench.  or, it stood against the outmost
      wall.  battered, etc.  Heb. marred to throw down.

       * 2Sa 21:3 Ex 19:5,6 De 32:9 1Sa 26:19

      priest of David; and so the Septuagint, Vulgate, Syriac, and
      Arabic.  The Chaldee has {rav,} a chief or prince:  probably
      he was a kind of domestic chaplain or seer to the king.
