, which, so far as the form is concerned, is not a nomen gentil., Reland ( Palaest. ill. p. 899) holds for a contraction of , Migdal Zebujah-a place which, according to the rabbins, is said to have been somewhere in the neighbourhood of Hebron. Bertheau’s opinion is, that the article has come into the text by mistake; and when it has been struck out, the remaining consonants, , recall the of 2Sa 23:36 (?).

REFLECTIONS
READER! let us pause over the view which this Chapter affords, of the exaltation of David to the throne, and see whether we do not behold in it a figure of the exaltation of Christ to the right hand of power, when he had by himself purged our sins, and when forever be sat down on the right hand of the majesty on high. Doth not your heart say to Jesus; as the men of Israel did to David, Thou shalt feed thy people, and thou shalt be Lord over them. And do you not also say so from a consciousness of the same cause, that you are of Christ’s bone, and of his flesh. Oh! how doubly delightful is it, first to see Jesus reign, and next to consider our relationship in him. And wilt thou not, blessed Jesus; say to thy people as is recorded in thy words, to him that overecometh will I grant to sit with me on my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
In the contemplation of the worthies of David, I would pray for grace to become the worthy follower of the Lamb, in the regeneration, that when the Son of God shall come encircled with his holy army I may have grace, and not be ashamed before him at his coming. Lord make me the patient follower of them, who now through faith and patience inherit the promises.
