Overview
Sa2 5:1, The tribes come to Hebron and anoint David over Israel; Sa2 5:4, David's age; Sa2 5:6, He taking Zion from the Jebusites, dwells in it; Sa2 5:11, Hiram sends to David; Sa2 5:13, Eleven sons are born to him in Jerusalem; Sa2 5:17, David, directed by God, smites the Philistines at Baal-perazim; Sa2 5:22, and again at the mulberry trees.

the mulberry trees: The word bechaim, rendered mulberry trees, is rendered by Aquila, απιων, pear-trees, as the LXX also render in Ch1 14:14, Ch1 14:15; and so the Vulgate in both places has pyrorum. The Rabbins, however, believe bacha signifies the mulberry-tree; with whom Ursinus agrees. It more probably denotes a large shrub which the Arabs still call baca, from its distilling an odoriferous gum, from bachah to distil, as tears. Of this opinion is Celsius, who quotes a passage from Abulfadi, who describes it as a balsam shrub, having longish leaves, and bearing a large fruit with an acrid taste. M. Forskal mentions a tree by the name of beca, with leaves rather ovated, smooth, entire. its berries are poisonous to the sheep.

"And David said, Whosoever smiteth the Jebusites, and through the subterraneous passage reacheth the lame and the blind, who hate the life of David (because the blind and the lame said, he shall not come into the house), shall be chief and captain. So Joab, the son of Zeriah, went up first, and was chief."
