| II Samuel 13:19
| And she put ashes on her head, and rent her long robe, and laid her hands upon her head, and went on crying.
| Head, as if to hide her face, Ezechiel 27:30., and Jeremias 2:37. So Mezentius: "Canitiem immundo deformat pulvere et ambas Ad Coelum tendit palmas."----- (Virgil, Aeneid x.) See Homer, Iliad 2. (Calmet) --- Crying, that no one might think she had consented. (Menochius) --- She probably went directly to her brother's house, and related the affair to him; or he met her in this condition. (Salien)
