Day. It was distant from Aphec about 90 miles. --- Smitten, yet without killing any. (Calmet) --- We may adore a merciful Providence, which prevented these barbarians from treating David's men as he had treated theirs, 1 Kings 27:11. (Salien, the year before Christ 1074.) --- He would allow them to burn the city, etc., that David might be roused to execute the divine vengeance upon them. (Theodoret) |
