     * he took him.
       Jehu asked for the hand of Jehonadab not merely for the
       purpose of assisting him into the chariot, but that he might
       give him an assurance that he would assist him in the
       prosecution of his desires; for giving the hand is considered
       as a pledge of friendship and fidelity, or a form of entering
       into a contract, among all nations.  Mr. Bruce relates, that
       when he entreated the protection of a {sheikh,} the great
       people who were assembled came, "and after joining hands,
       repeated a kind of prayer, of about two minutes long; by which
       they declared themselves and their children accursed, if ever
       they lifted their hands against me in the {tell,} (or field)
       in the desert, or on the river; or, in case that I, or mine,
       should fly to them for refuge, if they did not protect us at
       the risk of their lives, their families, and their fortunes,
       or, as they emphatically expressed it, to the death of the
       last male child among them."  Another striking instance occurs
       in Ockley's History of the Saracens.  Telha, just before he
       died, asked one of Ali's men if he belonged to the emperor of
       the faithful; and being informed that he did, "Give me then,"
       said he, "your hand, that I may put mine in it, and by this
       action renew the oath of fidelity which I have already made to
       Ali."
