撒母耳记上 25章2节 到 25章2节 背景资料 上一笔 下一笔

     * Maon.
     # 23:24|
     * possessions were.  or, business was.  Carmel.
       Not the famous mount Carmel, in the north of Canaan, and in
       the tribe of Asher; but a city, on a mountain of the same
       name, in the south of Judah, which seems to have given name to
       the surrounding territory.  Eusebius and Jerome inform us,
       that there was in their time a town called Carmelia, ten miles
       east from Hebron, where the Romans kept a garrison, whose
       position well agrees with this Carmel.

     * man.
     # Ge 26:13; 2Sa 19:32; Ps 17:14; 73:3-7; Lu 16:19-25|
     * three thousand.
     # Ge 13:2; Job 1:3; 42:12|
     * shearing.
       This was a very ancient custom, and appears to have been
       always attended with festivity.  The ancient Romans, however,
       used to pluck off the wool from the sheep's backs; and hence a
       fleece was called {vellus,} a {vellendo,} from plucking it
       off.  Pliny says, that in his time sheep were not shorn every
       where, but in some places the wool was still plucked off.

     * Carmel.
