2 Samuel 20:8

Stone, where Abner and Joab had formerly joined battle, chap. ii. (Menochius) --- Habit, or body. --- Flank; they usually hand at the thigh, Psalm xliv. 4. --- Strike: the scabbard was very wide; so that, when it was hanging very high, it would easily fall out, when he stooped; and thus afford Joab an opportunity of stabbing Amasa, without suspicion. (Calmet) --- Protestants, "Joab's garment, that he had put on, was girded unto him, and upon it a girdle with a sword, fastened upon his loins, in the sheath thereof, and as he went forth, it fell out."
