  "The rich," says Mr. Morier, "hire a {dedeh,} or wet nurse for
  their children.  If a boy, the father appoints a steady man
  from the age of two years to be his {laleh,} who, I
  conjecture, must stand in the same capacity as the bringers up
  of children mentioned in the catastrophe of Ahab's sons.  But
  if it be a daughter, she has a {gees sefeed,} or white head,
  attached to her for the same purpose as the {laleh.}"

  Such barbarities are by no means uncommon in the East.  "It
  has been know to occur," says Mr. Morier, "after the combat
  was over, that prisoners have been put to death in cold blood,
  in order that the heads, which are immediately despatched to
  the king, and deposited in heaps at the place gates, might
  make a more considerable show."

   * Ezr 10:19 Eze 17:18 Ga 2:9
- he took him.
  Jehu asked for the hand of Jehonadab not merely for the
  purpose of assisting him into the chariot, but that he might
  give him an assurance that he would assist him in the
  prosecution of his desires; for giving the hand is considered
  as a pledge of friendship and fidelity, or a form of entering
  into a contract, among all nations.  Mr. Bruce relates, that
  when he entreated the protection of a {sheikh,} the great
  people who were assembled came, "and after joining hands,
  repeated a kind of prayer, of about two minutes long; by which
  they declared themselves and their children accursed, if ever
  they lifted their hands against me in the {tell,} (or field)
  in the desert, or on the river; or, in case that I, or mine,
  should fly to them for refuge, if they did not protect us at
  the risk of their lives, their families, and their fortunes,
  or, as they emphatically expressed it, to the death of the
  last male child among them."  Another striking instance occurs
  in Ockley's History of the Saracens.  Telha, just before he
  died, asked one of Ali's men if he belonged to the emperor of
  the faithful; and being informed that he did, "Give me then,"
  said he, "your hand, that I may put mine in it, and by this
  action renew the oath of fidelity which I have already made to
  Ali."
