     * his head.
       Riding furiously under the thick boughs of a great oak, which
       hung low and had never been cropped, either the twisted
       branches, or some low forked bough of the tree, caught him by
       the neck, or, as some think, by the loops into which his long
       hair had been pinned, which had been so much his pride, and
       was now justly made a halter for him.  He may have hung so low
       from the bough, in consequence of the length of his hair, that
       he could not use his hands to help himself, or so entangled
       that his hands were bound, so that the more he struggled the
       more he was embarrassed.  This set him up as a fair mark to
       the servants of David; and although David would have spared
       his rebellious son, if his orders had been executed, yet he
       could not turn the sword of Divine justice, in executing the
       just, righteous sentence of death on this traitorous son.
