VERSE 2 
 - now the.
   * Jos 9:3-21
- the Amorites.
  The Gibeonites were Hivites, not Amorites, as appears from Jos
  19 6:19; but Amorites is a name often given to the Canaanites in
  general.

   * Ge 15:16
- in his zeal.
   * De 7:16 1Sa 14:44; 15:8,9 2Ki 10:16,31 Lu 9:54,55 Joh 16:2

   * Da 9:26


VERSE 6 
 - Let seven.
  As God accepted the expiation here demanded, we must suppose
  that both the enquiry of David, and the answer of the
  Gibeonites, were directed by some open or secret intimation
  from him.

- hang.
   * 2Sa 17:23; 18:10 Ge 40:19,22 Nu 25:4,5 De 21:22 Jos 8:29; 10:26

  This Adriel did not marry Michal, Saul's younger daughter, but
  Merab, 1 Sa 19 18:19; Michael being married to David, and
  afterwards to Phaltiel; though it is here said she bore
  {(yaledah,} not brought up, as falsely rendered, five sons to
  Adriel.  Two of Dr. Kennicott's MSS., however, have Merab,
  instead of Michal; the Syriac and Arabic have Nadab; and the
  Chaldee renders the passage thus:  "And the five sons of Merab
  which Michal the daughter of Saul brought up, which she
  brought forth to Adriel the son of Barzillai."

- Michal.  or, Michal's sister.
   * 1Sa 18:19

   * 1Ki 21:27 Joe 1:18

- until water.
  Some suppose that this means a providential supply of rain, in
  order to remove the famine; but from the manner in which it is
  introduced, it seems to denote the autumnal rains, which
  commence about October.  For five months did this
  broken-hearted woman watch by the bodies of her sons!

   * De 11:14 1Ki 18:41-45 Jer 5:24,25; 14:22 Ho 6:3 Joe 2:23

VERSE 19 
 - Elhanan, etc.
  Instead of [                                ] of the text, we
  should certainly read, as in the parallel text, "and Elhanan
  the son of Jair, slew Lahmi the brother of Goliath."
