let not my.
1 Samuel 2:9; 1 Samuel 25:29
the king.
1 Samuel 24:14; Matthew 26:47; Matthew 26:55
a flea.{Parosh,} (in Arabic {borghooth,} Syriac, {poorthano,}) the well known little contemptible and troublesome insect, the flea, seems to be so called from its agility in leaping and skipping, from {para,} "free," and {raash,} "to leap, bound." David, by comparing himself to this insect, seems to import, that while it would cost Saul much pains to catch him, he would obtain but very little advantage from it.
a partridge.{Korai} certainly denotes the partridge, which is called in Arabic, {kir\u65533 a.} It seems to be so called from the cry or {cur} which it utters when calling its young.
