A.M. 2679. B.C. 1325. An. Ex. Is. 166. cried unto.

Judg 3:9; Ps 50:15; Ps 78:34; Ps 90:15; Jer 29:12; Jer 29:13; Jer 33:3

a Benjamite. or, the son of Jemini. left-handed. Heb. shutof his right hand.

This Hebrew phrase intimates that, either through disease or disuse, he made little or no use of the right hand, but of his left only, and so was the less fit for war, because he would most likely wield a dagger awkwardly: yet God chose this left-handed man to be the minister of his retributive justice.

It was God's right hand that gained Israel the victory, Ps 44:3; not the right hand of the instruments he employed.

Judg 20:16; 1Chr 12:2

sent a present.

1Sam 10:27; Prov 18:16; Prov 19:6; Prov 21:14; Isa 36:16
