which brought them up . "The rich ," says Mr. Morier , "hire a dedeh , or wet nurse for their children. If a boy , the father appoints a steady man from the age of two years to be his laleh , who , I conjecture , must stand in the same capacity as the bringers up of children mentioned in the catastrophe of Ahab's sons. But if it be a daughter , she has a gees sefeed , or white head , attached to her for the same purpose as the laleh."

Lay ye them . Such barbarities are by no means uncommon in the East. "It has been know to occur ," says Mr. Morier , "after the combat was over , that prisoners have been put to death in cold blood , in order that the heads , which are immediately despatched to the king , and deposited in heaps at the place gates , might make a more considerable show."

he took him . Jehu asked for the hand of Jehonadab not merely for the purpose of assisting him into the chariot , but that he might give him an assurance that he would assist him in the prosecution of his desires; for giving the hand is considered as a pledge of friendship and fidelity , or a form of entering into a contract , among all nations. Mr. Bruce relates , that when he entreated the protection of a sheikh , the great people who were assembled came , "and after joining hands , repeated a kind of prayer , of about two minutes long; by which they declared themselves and their children accursed , if ever they lifted their hands against me in the tell , (or field) in the desert , or on the river; or , in case that I , or mine , should fly to them for refuge , if they did not protect us at the risk of their lives , their families , and their fortunes , or , as they emphatically expressed it , to the death of the last male child among them." Another striking instance occurs in Ockley's History of the Saracens. Telha , just before he died , asked one of Ali's men if he belonged to the emperor of the faithful; and being informed that he did , "Give me then ," said he , "your hand , that I may put mine in it , and by this action renew the oath of fidelity which I have already made to Ali."
