  This brook or torrent, it is evident from the circumstances of
  the history, must be in the south-west part of Judea, and must
  empty itself into the Mediterranean Sea.  In the more
  particular situation of it writers are not agreed.  Some
  suppose it to be between Gaza and Rhinocorura; but Jerome
  places it between Rhinocorura and Egypt.  It is supposed by
  some to be the same as the river of the wilderness, (Am 6:14,)
  and the river of Egypt, Jos 15:4.

  Though they had booty enough, and this poor sick slave might
  have been carried on an ass or a camel, yet they inhumanely
  left him to perish; but, in the righteous providence of God,
  this cruelty was the occasion of their destruction; whilst
  David's kindness to a perishing stranger and slave was the
  means of his success, and proved the truest policy.

   * Job 31:13-15 Pr 12:10 Jas 13 2:13

  Calmet and others suppose that these people, who inhabited the
  same district as the Philistines, were the aborigines of the
