2 Samuel 15:2-7
get up <07925> [rose up.]
bring <0935> [came. Heb. to come.]
claims <01697> [thy matters.]
king <04428> [there is, etc. or, none will hear thee from the king downward.]
make <07760> [Oh that I.]
just settlement <06663> [I would do.]
embrace .... kiss <02388 05401> [took him.]
kiss <05401> [and kissed.]

four years <0705 08141> [A.M. 2983. B.C. 1021. An. Ex. Is. 470. forty years.]
As David reigned in the whole only forty years, this reading is evidently corrupt, though supported by the commonly printed Vulgate, LXX., and Chaldee. But the Syriac, Arabic, Josephus, Theodoret, the Sixtine edition of the Vulgate, and several MSS. of the same version, read four years; and it is highly probable that {arbÆ’im,} forty, is an error for {arbÆ’,} four, though not supported by any Hebrew MS. yet discovered. Two of those collated by Dr. Kennicott, however, have {yom,} "day," instead of {shanah,} "year," i.e., forty days instead of forty years; but this is not sufficient to outweigh the other authorities.
<03212> [let me go.]
repay <07999> [pay.]
2 Samuel 16:16-19
Long live ... king Long live ... king <02421 04428> [God save the king. Heb. let the king live.]
loyalty <02617> [Is this thy.]
go <01980> [why wentest.]
serve <06440> [should I not serve.]
2 Samuel 17:7-13
<03289> [given. Heb. counselled. not good.]
soldiers <01368> [mighty men.]
dangerous <05315 04751> [chafed in their minds. Heb. bitter of soul.]
bear <01677> [as a bear.]
father .... men ........................ father .... experienced <01 0376> [thy father is.]
hiding <02244> [he is hid.]
one ........ other similar <0259 05307> [some.]
similar <05307> [over thrown. Heb. fallen.]
lion-hearted <03820> [heart.]
virtually melt away <04549> [utterly melt.]

Israel <03478> [all Israel.]
sand <02344> [as the sand.]
lead <01980> [thou go. Heb. they face, or presence, go, etc. in thine.]
wherever ................................... one <04725 0259> [in some place.]
<05168> [we will light.]
This is a very beautiful and expressive figure. The dew in Palestine, and other warm climates, falls fast, sudden, and heavy; and it falls upon every spot of earth, so that not a blade of grass escapes it. It is therefore no inapt emblem of a numerous and active army; and it was, perhaps, for this reason that the Romans called their light armed forces {rorarii.}
take up ropes <05375 02256> [bring ropes.]
In the same manner the king of Maturan, in Java, proposed pulling down a tower which the Dutch had built, by making his people and elephants pull at a number of chains, and ropes of cocoa-nut bark, thrown around it.

2 Samuel 22:13
coals ... fire <0784 01513> [coals of fire.]
Jeremiah 28:2-4
break <07665> [I.]
years ... over <08141 03117> [two full years. Heb. two years of days.]
everything <03627> [all the.]
Nebuchadnezzar <05019> [that.]
back <07725> [I will bring.]
This was doubtless grateful news to the people, who looked upon Zedekiah only as Nebuchadnezzar's deputy. Hananiah seems to have been more desirous of popular than regal favour; for this prediction could not be altogether agreeable to Zedekiah. But he was evidently a weak as well as a wicked prince, and very generally despised.
Jeconiah <03204> [Jeconiah.]
[Coniah]
[Jehoiachin. captives. Heb. captivity.]
