2 Samuel 19:24

The son — That is, the grandson, 2 Samuel 6:3, 2 Samuel 6:6. His feet — By washing his feet, which was usual in those hot climates, and very refreshing; and therefore now neglected, as becoming a mourner. Beard — But suffered it to grow very long, and disorderly, as was usual with persons in a forlorn, or mournful state. Clothes — His linen cloathes. This and the former were signs, that he was a true and obstinate mourner, and evidences of the falsehood of Ziba's relation concerning him, 2 Samuel 16:3.
