forty years . As David reigned in the whole only forty years , this reading is evidently corrupt , though supported by the commonly printed Vulgate , LXX , and Chaldee. But the Syriac , Arabic , Josephus , Theodoret , the Sixtine edition of the Vulgate , and several manuscripts of the same version , read four years; and it is highly probable that arbaim , forty , is an error for arba , four , though not supported by any Hebrew manuscript yet discovered. Two of those collated by Dr. Kennicott , however , have yom , "day ," instead of shanah , "year ," i.e. , forty days instead of forty years; but this is not sufficient to outweigh the other authorities. 2 Samuel 13 . 38 , 1 Samuel 16 . 1 , 1 Samuel 16 . 13

the brook . The brook Kidron , which is but a few paces broad , runs along the valley of Jehoshaphat , east of Jerusalem , to the south-west corner of the city , and then , turning to the south-east , empties itself into the Dead Sea. Like the Ilissus , it is dry at least nine months in the year , being only furnished with water in the winter , and after heavy rains . its bed is narrow and deep , which indicates that it must formerly have been the channel for waters which have found some other , and probably subterraneous course.

mount Olivet . Mount Olivet , so called from its abounding with olive trees , is situated east of Jerusalem , being separated from it only by the valley of Jehoshaphat and the brook Kidron. Josephus says it is five stadia , i.e. , 625 geometrical paces from Jerusalem; and St. Luke . Acts 1 . 12 says it is a Sabbath day's journey , or about eight stadia distant , i.e. , to the summit. It forms part of a ridge of limestone hills , extending from north to south for about a mile; and it is described as having three , or , according to others , four summits; the central and highest of which overlooks the whole of the city , over whose streets and walls the eye roves as if in the survey of a model.

Thus Darius , when informed by Tyriotes , the eunuch , that his queen was dead , and that she had suffered no violence from Alexander , covered his head , and wept a long time; then throwing off the garment that covered him , he thanked the gods for Alexander's moderation and justice. 2 Samuel 19 . 4 , Esther 6 . 12 , Jeremiah 14 . 3 , Jeremiah 14 . 4
