{2 Samuel 3:34} Thy hands 3027 [were] not x3808 bound, 631 z8803 nor x3808 thy feet 7272 put 5066 z8717 into fetters: 5178 as a man x1121 falleth 5307 z8800 before 6440 wicked 5766 men, 1121 [so] fellest 5307 z8804 thou. And all x3605 the people 5971 wept 1058 z8800 again 3254 z8686 over x5921 him.
hands:
The hand of malefactors were usually secured with cords, and their feet with fetters; a custom to which David affectingly alludes in his lamentation over the dust of Abner. Thy hands, O Abner, were not bound, as found to be a malefactor, nor thy feet put in fetters; thou was treated with honour by him whose business it was to judge thee, and thy attachment to the house of Saul was esteemed rather generous than culpable. As the best of men may fall, so thou fellest by the sword of treachery, not of justice. "But the Philistinesª tookª° him, and put outª°¹ his eyes,ª and brought him downª°¹ to Gaza,ª and boundª° him with fetters of brass;ª and he did¹ grindª° in the prison²°¹ house.ª" {Jdg 16:21} + "Such as sitª° in darknessª and in the shadow of death,ª [being] boundª in afflictionª and iron;ª ... Because¹ they rebelled²° against¹ the wordsª of God,ª and contemnedª° the counselª of the most High:ª" {Psa 107:10-11}
wicked men:
Heb. children of iniquity, "The murdererª° risingª° with the lightª killethª° the poorª and needy,ª and in the nightª is¹ as a thief.ª" {Job 24:14} + "And as troops² of robbers¹ waitª° for a man,ª [so] the companyª of priestsª murderª° in the wayª by consent:ª°² for¹ they commitª° lewdness.ª" {Hsa 6:9}
wept:
"And they mourned,ª° and wept,ª° and fastedª° until¹ even,ª for¹ Saul,ª and for¹ Jonathanª his son,ª and for¹ the peopleª of the LORD,ª and for¹ the houseª of Israel;ª because¹ they were fallenª° by the sword.ª" {2Sm 1:12}
