ExplanationCommentary
Verse 1. David. This name is written without i, in the books composed before the captivity, (A.Calmet. 588) but i is inserted in the latter works, which is an argument against the antiquities of Canticles, where the i is found. Yet the MSS. vary so, that great stress is not laid on this (Kennicott) proof, and it is not sufficient weight to stand against the general opinion, which attributes that work to Solomon. Bible.—Hebron, after the death of Isboseth. 2 Kennicott. 5. Calmet.—Flesh; related, as the children of Jacob.
