2 Samuel 2:29
Bitron <01338> [Bithron.]
Bithron or Bether is probably the same as {Betarus,} which is placed in the Antonine Itinerary between Caesarea of Palestine and Diospolis or Lydda, 18 miles from the former, and 22 from the latter. The Jerusalem Itinerary mentions a place called Bethar, 16 miles from Caesarea, and 20 from Diospolis, which is probably the same. The Talmudists say that it was four miles distant from the sea.
[Bether. Mahanaim.]

2 Samuel 4:5

rest <04904 07901> [lay on a bed.]
It is customary, in all hot countries, to travel or work very early and very late, and to rest at noon, at which time the heat most prevails.
2 Samuel 17:18
Bahurim <0980> [Bahurim.]
2 Samuel 4:7
head Taking ... head <07218 03947> [took his head.]
When those difficulties dispirit us which should rather invigorate us and sharpen our endeavours, we betray a carelessness of character which is soon taken advantage of by our more watchful neighbours. Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty and ruin. The idle soul is an easy prey to the destroyer.
2 Samuel 17:21
