2 Samuel 16:1

Siba was a mean character, but of sufficient discernment to judge that David would gain the day. He came to calumniate his master; and David paid too much attention to him, though his testimony would not have been received in a court of judicature. (Calmet) --- We must reflect that the mind of David was full of trouble, and devoid of suspicion. (Haydock) --- But he did wrong (Worthington) in condemning Miphiboseth unheard. --- Raisins. See 1 Kings xxv. 18. (Calmet) --- Figs; ( palatharum) which are often called caricarum. (Menochius) --- Hebrew mea kayits, "a hundred of summer" fruits, like fresh grapes, (Numbers xiii. 21.) and other fruits, gathered after harvest time, Micheas vii. 1.
