Eze 4:13-16dove's dung.This probably denotes, as Bochart, Scheuchzer, and others suppose, a kind of {pulse,} or {vetches,} which the Arabs still call pigeon's dung. "They never," says Dr. Shaw, (Travels, p. 140), "constitute a dish by themselves, but are strewed singly as a garnish over {cuscasowe, pillowe,} and other dishes. They are besides in the greatest repute after they are parched in pans and ovens; then assuming the name {leblebby;}" and he thinks they were so called from being pointed at one end, and acquiring an ash colour in parching.2 Kings 7
1 Elisha prophesies incredible plenty in Samaria.3 Four lepers, venturing on the host of the Syrians, bring tidings of their flight.12 The king, finding by spies the news to be true, spoils the tents of the Syrians.17 The lord who would not believe the prophecy of plenty, having the charge of the gate, is trodden to death in the press.

So Mr. Morier observes: "In our rides we usually went out of the town at the {Derwazeh Shah Abdul Azeem,} or the gate leading to the village of Shah Abdul Azeem, where a market was held every morning, particularly of horses, mules, asses, and camels. At about sun-rise, the owners of the animals assemble and exhibit them for sale. But besides, here were sellers of all sorts of goods, in temporary shops and tents: and this, perhaps, will explain the custom alluded to in 2 Ki 7:18." a lord, etc. or, a lord which belonged to the king, leaningon his hand. 5:18if the Lord.Ge 18:12-14; Nu 11:21-23; Ps 78:19-21,41windows.Ge 7:11; Mal 3:10thou shalt see it.17-20; De 3:27; 2Ch 20:20; Isa 7:9; Ro 3:3; 2Ti 2:13; Heb 3:17-19 four leprous.5:1; 8:4; Le 13:46; Nu 5:2-4; 12:14Why.4; Jer 8:14; 27:13 we will enter.Jer 14:18let us fall.1Ch 12:19; Jer 37:13,14if they save us.Es 4:16; Jer 8:14; Jon 3:9; Lu 15:17-19we shall but die.2Sa 14:14; Heb 9:27 in the twilight.1Sa 30:17; Eze 12:6,7,12behold.Le 27:8,26; De 28:7; 32:25,30 the Lord.3:22,23-27; 19:7; 2Sa 5:24; Job 15:21; Ps 14:5; Jer 20:3,4Eze 10:5; Re 6:15,16; 9:9the kings of the Hittites.1Ki 10:29the kings of the Egyptians.2Ch 12:2,3; Isa 31:1; 36:9 they arose.Job 18:11; Ps 48:4-6; 68:12; Pr 21:1; 28:1; Jer 48:8,9their horses.Ps 20:7,8; 33:17; Am 2:14-16and fled for their life.Nu 35:11,12; Pr 6:5; Isa 2:20; Mt 24:16-18; Heb 6:18 hid it.5:24; Jos 7:21; Jer 41:8; Mt 13:44; 25:18 they said one.3; Hag 1:4,5this day.6; Isa 41:27; 52:7; Na 1:15; Lu 2:10; Php 2:4some mischief will come upon us.
