alternative for Isaac, but 10 wcnd his moody way

Upon the news o. his son Absalom's conspiracy
David had fled from Jerusalem, and from iiis own
house for safety: the representation given OF the
manner of it is afectiDg:-Dever was scene OF sor-
row SO full of distress!
The King fled with all his household to save i.'D-
self from the sword Of tho he loved he fled with
all the marks of humble sorrow-0with his head
covered and barefoot; and he went by the ascent
Of Mount Olivet, the sacred historian says he wept-
some gladstone scenes, perhaps, which there had
passed-some hours of festvity he had shared with
ihsalom, in better days, pressed tenderly upon
ture.-he wept Mt this sad vicissitude Of things
and all the people that were with him, snitten with
his affection, covered each man his Woodworking
he went up.
1t was on this occasion whcn David had rot to
Bahurm, that Shimel, of Gera read in the
9Th verse, came OUT it with the choicest oils
he could gather from Mount Ovet, to pour into his
wounds.-Times and troubles had not done enougI
and thou earnest out, Shime to add thy portion
sAnd as he came, he cursed David, and threw stones
and cast dust at him. and thus said Shime SyhcnIie
cursed: Go to, thou of Bcial--thop hast sought
bood,--and behold thou art caught in thy own mis-
chief for hath the Lord returned upon thee all Z
the blood of Saul and his house,
There is small degree of malicious craft in fix
ing upon season to give mark of ennity and i'll
will: a word-a look, which at one time would make
10 rnpressior-at another time, wounds the heart;
and like shaft flying with the wind pcroes deep,
which, with its natural force, would have
reached the object aimed at.
This seemed to have been Shmei's hopes: but ex-
cess OF malice makes men too quick sighted for
their own purpose Could Simmer possibly have
waited for the ebb of Davids passions, and till the
first great conflict within him had been ovcr--thcn
the reproach of being guilty of Sauls blood must
have hurt hiu--bs heart was possessed with other
feelings it bed for the deadly sting which Absalom
had given hn--he felt not the indignty of stranger

16liction and requite me good far this evil"
The insoencc of base minds in success is bouDdcss
