撒母耳记下 4章6节 到 4章6节 背景资料 上一笔 下一笔

     * as though.
       It is still the custom of the East, according to Dr. Perry, to
       allow the soldiers a certain quantity of corn, with other
       articles of provision, together with some pay:  and as it was
       the custom also to grind the corn, as needed, at the break of
       day, these two captains very naturally went the day before to
       the palace, where the king's stores appear to have been kept,
       to fetch wheat, in order to distribute it to the soldiers
       under them, to be ground at the accustomed hour in the
       morning.  The princes of the East, in those days, as appears
       from the history of David, reposed on their couches till the
       cool of the evening:  they therefore came in the heat of the
       day, when they knew their master would be resting on his bed;
       and as it was a necessary to have the corn before it was
       needed, their coming at this time, though it might be earlier
       than usual, excited no suspicion.

     * under.
