* his head.
   Riding furiously under the thick boughs of a great oak, which
   hung low and had never been cropped, either the twisted
   branches, or some low forked bough of the tree, caught him by
   the neck, or, as some think, by the loops into which his long
   hair had been pinned, which had been so much his pride, and
   was now justly made a halter for him.  He may have hung so low
   from the bough, in consequence of the length of his hair, that
   he could not use his hands to help himself, or so entangled
   that his hands were bound, so that the more he struggled the
   more he was embarrassed.  This set him up as a fair mark to
   the servants of David; and although David would have spared
   his rebellious son, if his orders had been executed, yet he
   could not turn the sword of Divine justice, in executing the
   just, righteous sentence of death on this traitorous son.
