TSK - 2 SAMUEL 10
  
1 David's messengers, sent to comfort Hanun the son of
Nahash, are villanously treated.
6 The Ammonites, strengthened by the Syrians, are overcome by
Joab and Abishai.
15 Shobach, making a new supply of the Syrians at Helam, is
slain by David.

VERSE 4
- and shaved.
The beard is held in high respect and greatly valued in the
East: the possessor considers it as his greatest ornament;
often swears by it; and, in matters of great importance,
pledges it; and nothing can be more secure than such a pledge;
for its owner will redeem it at the hazard of his life. The
beard was never cut off but in mourning, or as a sign of
slavery. It is customary to shave the Ottoman princes, as a
mark of their subjection to the reigning emperor. The beard
is a mark of authority and liberty among the Mohammedans. The
Persians who clip the beard, and shave above the jaw, are
reputed heretics. They who serve in the {seraglios} have
their beards shaven, as a sign of servitude; nor do they
suffer them to grow till the sultan has set them at liberty.
Among the Arabians, it is more infamous for anyone to appear
with his beard cut off, than among us to be publicly whipped
or branded; and many would prefer death to such a punishment.

VERSE 12
- Be of good.
This is a very animating address, and equal to any thing of
the kind in ancient or modern times. Ye fight {pro aris et
focis;} for every good, sacred and civil; for God, for your
families, and for your countries. Such harangues, especially
in very trying circumstances, are very natural, and may
perhaps be found in the records of every nation. Several
instances might be quoted from Roman and Grecian history; but
few are more remarkable than that of Tyrtaeus, the lame
Athenian poet, to whom the command of the army was given in
one of the Messenian wars. The Spartans had at that time
suffered great losses, and all their stratagems proved
ineffectual, so that they began to despair of success; when
the poet, by his lectures on honor and courage, delivered in
moving verse to the army, ravished them to such a degree with
the thoughts of dying for their country, that, rushing on with
a furious transport to meet their enemies, they gave them an
entire overthrow, and by one decisive battle brought the war
to a happy conclusion.
