     * Whither, etc.  or, Did you not make a road.  And David.

     * Against.
       David here meant the Geshurites, and Gezrites, and Amalekites,
       which people occupied that part of the country which lies to
       the south of Judah.  But Achish, as was intended, understood
       him in a different sense, and believed that he had attacked
       his own countrymen.  David's answer, therefore, though not an
       absolute falsehood, was certainly an equivocation intended to
       deceive, and therefore incompatible with that sense of truth
       and honour which became him as a prince, and a professor of
       true religion.  From these, and similar passages, we may
       observe the strict impartiality of the Sacred Scriptures.
       They present us with the most faithful delineation of human
       nature; they exhibit the frailties of kings, priests, and
       prophets, with equal truth; and examples of vice and frailty,
       as well as of piety and virtue, are held up, that we may guard
       against the errors to which the best men are exposed.

     * the Jerahmeelites.

     * Kenites.
