      interrupted by them in his devotions.  See the notes on Jud

       * Ex 4:20 1Sa 25:20 1Ki 13:13,23
    - an ass.
      These animals were not anciently, as now, used only by the
      lower classes, but were in general use among the noble and
      chief personages of the East, and it was not unusual for even
      the husband to walk by the side of his wife while thus riding;
      the driver, as was the custom, following.  The Shunammite,
      when she went to the prophet, did not desire so much
      attendance; but only requested her husband to send her an ass
      and its driver.
    
    - Drive.

    VERSE 39 
     - a wild vine.
       * Isa 5:4 Jer 2:21 Mt 15:13 Heb 12:15
    - wild gourds.
      The word {pakk"th,} from {peka,} in Chaldee, to burst, and in
      Syriac, to crack, thunder, is generally supposed to be the
      fruits of the coloquintida, or colocynth; whose leaves are
      large, placed alternately, very much like those of the vine,
      whence it might be called a wild vine:  the flowers are white,
      and the fruit of the gourd kind, of the size of a large apple,
      and when ripe, of a yellow color, and a pleasant and inviting
      appearance.  It ranks among vegetable poisons, as all intense
      bitters do; but, judiciously employed, it is of considerable
      use in medicine.  It is said that the fruit, when ripe, is so
      full of wind that it bursts, and throws its liquor and seeds
      to a great distance:  and if touched, before it breaks of
      itself, it flies open with an explosion, and discharges its
      foetid contents in the face of him who touched it.
    
    
    VERSE 40 
     - O thou.
       * :9; 1:9,11,13 De 33:1 1Ki 17:18
    - death.

    VERSE 41 
     - he cast.
       * 2Ki 2:21; 5:10; 6:6 Ex 15:25 Joh 9:6 1Co 1:25
    - there.
       * Ac 28:5
    - harm.  Heb. evil thing.
    
    
    VERSE 42 
     - Baal-shalisha.
       * 1Sa 9:4,7
    - bread.
       * :38 Ex 23:16 De 12:6; 26:2-10 1Sa 9:7 2Ch 11:13,14 Pr 3:9,10
       * 1Co 9:11 Ga 6:6
    - of barley.
       * 2Ki 7:1,16-18 De 8:8; 32:14 Joh 6:9,13
    - the husk thereof.  or, his scrip, or garment.
      Note:  Parched corn, or corn to be parched; full ears before
      they are ripe, parched on the fire:  a very frequent food in
      the East.  The loaves were probably extremely small, as their
      loaves of bread still are in eastern countries.  But small as
      this may appear, it would be a considerable present in the
      time of famine; though very inadequate to the number of
      persons.  Baal-shalisha, of which the person who made this
      seasonable present was an inhabitant, was situated, according
      to Eusebius and Jerome, fifteen miles north of Diospolis, or
      Lydda.
    
    
    VERSE 43 
     - his servitor.  See on ver.
       * :12
    - What.
       * Mt 14:16,17; 15:33,34 Mr 6:37-39; 8:4 Lu 9:13 Joh 6:9
    - They shall eat.
       * Mt 14:20; 15:37; 16:8-10 Mr 6:42,43; 8:20 Lu 9:17 Joh 6:11-13
