hearkened.In thus falling into this measure, the Shechemites must either have had great affection for their chief and his son, or have been under the influence of the most passive obedience. The petty princes of Asia have always been absolute and despotic; their subjects paying them the most prompt and blind obedience. The following instance will sufficiently illustrate and confirm this statement: Abu Thaher, chief of the Carmathians, about the year 930, with only 500 horse, went to lay siege to Bagdad: the khalif's general marched out to seize him; but before the attack, sent an officer to summon him to surrender. "How many men has the khalif's general?" said Abu Thaher; "30,000," replied the officer. "Among them all," says the Carmathian chief, "has he got three like mine?" Then ordering his followers to approach, he commanded one to stab himself, another to throw himself from a precipice, and a third to plunge into the Tigris: all three instantly obeyed, and perished! Then turning to the officer, he said, "He who has such troops need not value the number of his enemies!" went out.23:10,18every male.17:23; Isa 1:10-16; Mt 7:6; Ro 2:28,29; 1Co 7:19 sore.Jos 5:6,8Simeon.29:33,34; 49:5,7; Nu 31:7,17; Pr 4:16; 6:34,35slew.49:6; 2Ch 32:25Genesis 35:22

This hiatus the LXX., thus supplies: [kai poneros ephane enantion autou ,] "and it appeared evil in his sight." 18; 29:31-35; 30:5-24; 46:8-27; 49:1-28; Ex 1:1-5; 6:14-16; Nu 1:5-15Nu 1:20-46; 2:3-33; 7:12-89; 26:5-51,57-62; 34:14-28; De 33:1-29Jos 13:1-21:45; 1Ch 2:1,2; 12:23-40; 27:16-22; Eze 48:1-35; Ac 7:8Re 7:4-8; 21:14Exodus 19:10

Abana and Pharpar. or, Amana.This river is evidently the Barrada, or Barda, as the Arabic renders, the Chrysorrhoas of the Greeks, which taking its rise in Antilibanus, runs eastward towards Damascus, where it is divided into three streams, one of which passes through the city, and the other two through the gardens; which reuniting at the east of the city, forms a lake about five or six leagues to the south-east, called Behairat el Marj, or, Lake of the Meadow. Pharpar was probably one of the branches. better.17; 2:8,14; Jos 3:15-17; Eze 47:1-8; Zec 13:1; 14:8; Mr 1:9 his servants.3; 1Sa 25:14-17; 1Ki 20:23,31; Job 32:8,9; Jer 38:7-10My father.2:12; 6:21; 13:14; Ge 41:43; Mal 1:6; Mt 23:9; 1Co 4:15how much rather.1Co 1:21,27Wash.10; Ps 51:2,7; Isa 1:16; Joh 13:8; Ac 22:16; Eph 5:26,27; Tit 3:5Heb 10:22; 1Pe 3:21; Re 7:14
