8<\/strong>. a good day<\/em> ] A day of festivity and rejoicing. Cp. Est 8:17<\/span>.<\/p>\n Verse 8<\/span>. Whatsoever cometh to thine hand<\/B><\/I>] As thou art making a great feast for thy servants, and I and my men, as having essentially served thee, would naturally come in for a share were we present; send a portion by my ten young men, for me and my men, that we also may rejoice with you. Certainly this was a very reasonable and a very modest request. This mode of address is not unfrequent among the Hindoos: “O father, fill the belly of thy son; he is in distress.”<\/P> <\/p>\n In a good day, <\/B>i.e. in a day of feasting and rejoicing; when men are most cheerful and liberal; when thou mayst relieve us out of thy abundance without damage to thyself; when thou art receiving the mercies of God, and therefore obliged to pity and relieve distressed and indigent persons, Deu 12:12<\/span>; 14:26<\/span>,29<\/span>; 15:7<\/span>. <\/P> Unto thy servants<\/B> to us who have been and still are ready to serve and guard thee and thine.

The occasion of sheep-shearing was accompanied with a festal meal, and the owner of the flocks was expected to deal liberally with all who had helped care for his possessions.

Wherefore let the young men find favour in thine eyes: for we come in a good day: give, I pray thee, whatsoever cometh to thine hand unto thy servants, and to thy son David.<\/p>\n Ver. 8. For we come in a good day.<\/strong> ] A festival; wherein thou art bound by the law to relieve the necessitous. Deu 15:7 Hilaria celebras, illorum ergo particulam in nos deriva, nosque tecum exhilara,<\/em> let us partake of thine exceedings. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Give, I pray thee.<\/strong> ] Annonam et alimoniam; <\/em> we will not be our own carvers, but take thankfully what thou canst well spare us.
