This was certainly not a present that proclaimed royalty; but it does not appear to have been, in the estimation of the East, a present only fit for a country woman to have made, as Bp. Patrick supposes: for D'Arvieux informs us, that when he waited on an Arab emir, his mother and sisters sent him a present of pastry, honey, and fresh butter, with a bason of sweetmeats of Damascus.cruseor, bottlehe shall tell1:2, 8:8; Luke 7:2, 7:3; John 4:47, 4:48, 11:3Reciprocal1 Samuel 28:8 - disguised; 1 Kings 14:12 - when thy feet; Jeremiah 21:2 - Inquire; Daniel 4:18 - but Verse 4Shiloh1 Kings 11:29; Joshua 18:1; 1 Samuel 4:3, 4:4; Jeremiah 7:12-14 for his eyesGenesis 27:1, 48:10; Deuteronomy 34:7; 1 Samuel 3:2, 4:15; Psalm 90:10; Ecclesiastes 12:3 were set by reason of his ageHeb. stood for his hoarinessReciprocalEzekiel 14:2 - General Verse 5the Lord2 Kings 4:27, 6:8-12; Psalm 139:1-4; Proverbs 21:30; Amos 3:7; Acts 10:19, 10:20Reciprocal1 Samuel 28:12 - thou art Saul; 1 Kings 14:2 - disguise thyself; 14:6 - why feignest; 14:27 - guard; 2 Kings 3:14 - I would not look; Jeremiah 32:7 - Behold Verse 6thou wifeJob 5:13; Psalm 33:10 why feignest1 Kings 14:2, 14:5; Ezekiel 14:3-5, 14:7, 14:8; Luke 20:20-23; Acts 5:3-5, 5:9, 5:10; Habakkuk 3:1 for I am1 Kings 14:10, 14:11, 13:20-22, 20:42, 21:18-24, 22:8; 1 Samuel 15:16, 15:26, 28:18; Jeremiah 21:2-7; Ezekiel 2:4, 2:5; Daniel 4:19-25, 4:19-25, 5:17-28; Mark 14:21 heavy tidingsHeb. hard tidingsReciprocal1 Kings 1:45 - This is; 2 Kings 1:16 - Forasmuch; 6:32 - the sound; Hosea 6:5 - have I Verse 7Forasmuch1 Kings 12:24, 16:2; 1 Samuel 2:27-30, 15:16; 2 Samuel 12:7, 12:8Reciprocal1 Kings 11:38 - build the; 2 Kings 9:6 - over the people; 1 Chronicles 11:2 - ruler; Job 34:24 - set; Jeremiah 28:8 - prophesied; Hosea 5:1 - O house; 12:10 - have also; 13:11 - General Verse 8rent1 Kings 11:30, 11:31 my servant David3:14, 11:33-38, 15:5; 2 Chronicles 17:3, 28:1; Acts 13:22, 13:36Reciprocal1 Kings 9:4 - And if thou; 11:39 - afflict; 2 Kings 17:21 - For he rent; 2 Chronicles 34:2 - right in the sight; Job 34:24 - set; Mark 8:34 - follow Verse 9hast done1 Kings 14:16, 12:28, 13:33, 13:34, 15:34, 16:31 thou hast goneDeuteronomy 32:16, 32:17, 32:21; Judges 5:8; 2 Chronicles 11:15; Psalm 106:19, 106:20, 115:4-8; Isaiah 44:9-20; Jeremiah 10:14-16 to provoke1 Kings 14:22; Deuteronomy 9:8-16, 9:24; 2 Kings 21:3, 23:26; 2 Chronicles 33:6; Psalm 78:40, 78:56, 106:29; Jeremiah 7:9, 7:10; Ezekiel 8:3, 8:17; 1 Corinthians 10:22 cast meNehemiah 9:26; Psalm 50:17; Ezekiel 23:35Reciprocal1 Kings 14:15 - provoking; 15:29 - he left not; 15:30 - the sins; 16:25 - did worse; 16:30 - above; 22:52 - and in the way; 2 Chronicles 13:8 - with you golden; 21:11 - caused; 24:18 - And they left; Jeremiah 32:18 - recompensest; Ezekiel 23:5 - Aholah Verse 10I will bring1 Kings 15:25-30; Amos 3:6 him that pisseth1 Kings 16:11, 21:21; 1 Samuel 25:22, 25:34; 2 Kings 9:8, 9:9 him that is shut upDeuteronomy 32:36; 2 Kings 14:26 as a man taketh1 Samuel 2:30; 2 Kings 9:37, 21:13; Job 20:7; Psalm 83:10; Isaiah 5:25, 14:19, 14:23; Jeremiah 8:2; Ezekiel 26:4; Zephaniah 1:17; Malachi 2:3; Luke 14:34, 14:35Reciprocal1 Kings 13:34 - to cut it off; 14:6 - for I am; 16:3 - will make thy house; 2 Kings 10:11 - he left; 1 Chronicles 12:1 - while he yet; Job 27:15 - Those; Isaiah 14:22 - remnant; Jeremiah 16:4 - as dung; 22:19 - General; 32:18 - recompensest; Philippians 3:8 - but dung Verse 11that dieth1 Kings 16:4, 21:19, 21:23, 21:24; Isaiah 66:24; Jeremiah 15:3; Ezekiel 39:17-19; Revelation 19:17, 19:18Reciprocal1 Kings 14:6 - for I am; 2 Kings 9:8 - I will cut off; 9:9 - like the house; Job 27:15 - Those; Isaiah 5:25 - torn; Jeremiah 16:4 - as dung; 34:20 - and their Verse 12when thy feet1 Kings 14:3, 14:16, 14:17; 2 Kings 1:6, 1:16; John 4:50-52Reciprocal1 Samuel 2:34 - a sign; 1 Kings 15:25 - Nadab; 2 Kings 1:4 - but shalt; Habakkuk 3:1 - whom Verse 13shall mournNumbers 20:29; Jeremiah 22:10, 22:18 there is found2 Chronicles 12:12, 19:3; Job 19:28; Ezekiel 18:14-32; Philemon 1:6; 2 Peter 2:8, 2:9Reciprocal1 Kings 13:22 - carcase; 13:30 - mourned over; 14:1 - the son; 14:17 - when she came; 2 Kings 13:9 - buried him; 2 Chronicles 22:9 - Because; Ecclesiastes 12:1 - Remember; Isaiah 57:1 - the righteous; Ezekiel 18:20 - soul that; Habakkuk 3:1 - whom Verse 14the Lord1 Kings 15:27-29 but whatEcclesiastes 8:11; Ezekiel 7:2-7, 12:22-28; James 5:9; 2 Peter 2:3Reciprocal1 Kings 16:7 - because he killed him; Job 34:24 - set; Hosea 5:3 - thou Verse 15the Lord1 Samuel 12:25; 2 Kings 17:6, 17:7 as a reedMatthew 11:7; Luke 7:24 root up IsraelDeuteronomy 29:28; Psalm 52:5; Proverbs 2:22; Amos 2:9; Zephaniah 2:4; Matthew 15:13 this good landLeviticus 26:32-34, 26:43; Deuteronomy 4:26, 4:27, 28:36, 28:63-68, 29:24-28; Joshua 23:15, 23:16 shall scatter2 Kings 15:29, 17:6, 17:23, 18:11, 18:12; Amos 5:27; Acts 7:43 beyond the riveri.e. Beyond the river Euphrates, because.

The Syriac is the same. The Septuagint in the London Polyglott has Αβιου, Abihu; but in the Complutensian and Antwerp Polyglotts it has Αβια, Abiah; and the Editio Princeps of the Vulgate, some manuscripts and the text in these two Polyglotts, instead of Abiam, have Abia. 1 Chronicles 3:10, Abia, 2 Chronicles 12:16, Abijah, Matthew 1:7, AbiaReciprocal1 Kings 15:1 - General; 15:8 - Abijam; 22:40 - slept; 2 Kings 8:24 - slept; 10:35 - Jehu slept; 13:8 - General; 15:38 - Jotham; 20:21 - slept; 2 Chronicles 14:1 - slept
