Bible Comments

His young men; those of his guard, who used to execute justice upon malefactors at the king's command. Their hands and their feet; which had been most instrumental in this villany; their hands to cut off his head, and their feet to carry them away, and his head with them. Hanged them up over the pool in Hebron; as monuments of their villany, and of David's abhorrency of it.
