   * Ge 34:13 1Ki 20:31-33 Mt 10:16 Lu 16:8
-    ambassadors
     the word tzier, an ambassador, properly denotes a hinge; because
     an ambassador is a person upon whom the business turns as upon a
     hinge.  So the Latin Cardinalis, from cardo, a hinge, was the
     title of the prime minister of the emperor Theodosius, though now
     applied only to the Pope's electors and counsellors.
-    wine bottles
     These bottle being made of skin, were consequently liable to be
     rent, and capable of being mended; which is done, according to
     Chardin, by putting in a piece, or by gathering up the wounded
     piece in the manner of a purse; and sometimes by inserting a flat
     piece of wood.

  The word clouted signifies here patched, from the Anglo-Saxon

  a nail.

   * :16


VERSE 23 
 - cursed.
  This may refer to the original curse pronounced against the
  descendants of Canaan:  both of them seem to have implied
  nothing else than perpetual slavery.  The Gibeonites were
  brought, no doubt, under tribute; performed the meanest
  offices for the Israelites; being in the same condition as the
  servile class of Hindoos, called the {Chetrees;} had their
  national importance annihilated, and yet were never permitted
  to incorporate themselves with the Israelites.

- See on
   * Ge 9:25,26 Le 27:28,29
- none of you be freed.  Heb. not be cut off from you.  hewers.
  In the East, collecting wood for fuel, and carrying water, are
  the peculiar employment of females.  The Arab women of
  Barbary, and the daughters of the Turcomans, are thus
  employed.  Hence Mr. Harmer concludes, that the bitterness of
  the doom of the Gibeonites does not seem to have consisted in
  the laboriousness of the service enjoined them, but its
  disgracing them from the characteristic employment of men,
  that of bearing arms, and condemning them and their posterity
  for ever to the employment of females.
