* worthy of death.  Heb. of the judgment of death.
   The Hebrews understand this not of putting to death by
   hanging, but of hanging a man up after he was stoned to death;
   which was done more ignominiously of some heinous malefactors.
   We have the examples of Rechab and Baanah, who, for murdering
   Ish-bosheth, were slain by David's commandment, their hand and
   feet cut off, and then hanged up.

   So in Nu 25:4, we read, "And the Lord said unto Moses, Take
   all the heads (chief men) of the people, and hang them up
   before the Lord against the sun, that the fierce anger of the
   Lord may be turned away from Israel."  Among the Romans, in
   after ages, they hanged, or rather fastened to the tree ALIVE;
   and such was the cruel death of our blessed Lord and Saviour
   Jesus Christ.
