     * the weight.
       If this talent was only seven pounds, as Whiston says, David
       might have carried it on his head with little difficulty; but
       this weight, according to common computation, would amount to
       nearly 114; pounds!  Some, therefore, think, that {mishkelah}
       should be taken for its value, not weight; which renders it
       perfectly plain, as the worth of the crown will be about
       5,074(9c2e) 15s. 7d. sterling.  The ancients mention several such
       large crowns, made more for sight than use.  Athen(9175)s
       describes a crown of gold that was 24; feet in circumference;
       and mentions others that were two, some four, and others five
       feet deep.  Pliny takes notice of some that were no less than
       eight pounds weight.  Besides the crown usually worn, it was
       customary for kings, in some nations, to have such large ones
       as described, either hung or supported over the throne, where
       they sat at their coronation or other solemn occasions.

     * in great abundance.  Heb. very great.
