Armies In Old Testament Times.

All through ancient history oriental
armies had no sentinels. and thus In
the Bible King Saul when he was pur-
suing David slept without any guard,
so that David stole up to where the
king lay asleep and took the cruise Of
water at his head with him q Samuel,
XVII a striking Illustration of this
was when Alexander the Great. ac-
pcompanied by his chief officers, enter
ed the lines OF the Persian army the
might before the decisive battle Of Ar
bella and found that there was not one
OF the sleeping host who observed
them. We can readily see, therefore,
that panic might occur by sudden
night attack on an army so carelessy
guarded and that Abraham's company
might easily have taken advantage Of
this.-Dr. William Hanna Thomson In
