**take a wife of, &c.** An unlawful connection. Compare [Exodus 34:16](../../../kjv/exodus/34/16) . [Deuteronomy 7:3](../../../kjv/deuteronomy/7/3) , with [Joshua 23:12](../../../kjv/joshua/23/12) .
**pleaseth me well.** Hebrew is right in mine eyes.

**occasion** = opportunity.

**a young lion.** Lions once abounded in Palestine. Hence names *Lebaoth* ([Joshua 15:32](../../../kjv/joshua/15/32) ; [Joshua 19:6](../../../kjv/joshua/19/6) ). *Arieh* ([2 Kings 15:25](../../../kjv/2-kings/15/25) ). *Laish* ([Judges 18:7](../../../kjv/judges/18/7) ). See also [1 Samuel 17:36](../../../kjv/1-samuel/17/36) . [1 Kings 13:24](../../../kjv/1-kings/13/24) , &c).
**against him** = at meeting him.

**the Spirit.** Hebrew. *ruach.* App-9 .

**when they saw him:** i.e. saw what sort of man he was. Note emphasis on "him".

**I will** = Let me.
**sheets** = linen wraps, or shirts.

**seventh.** The Septuagint reads "fourth".
**is it not so?** The italics reveal the uncertainty of Authorized Version. Many codices read "hither", which yields better sense. Hebrew text reads simply "not".

**children** = sons.

**What. ?** Figure of speech *Anteisagoge.* App-6 .
**If.** Figure of speech *Paroemia.* App-6 .

**men.** Hebrew. *'ish.* App-14 .

**his friend** This was strictly in accordance with the laws of Khammurabi, 159, 163, 164.
