Isa 59:15 *marg.

In the Agamemnon of Aschylus, the hypocritical Clytemnestra commands the maids to spread carpets before her returning husband, that on his descending from his chariot he may place his foot on \"a purple-covered path.\" We also find this custom among the Romans. Plutarch relates, that when Cato of Utica left the Macedonian army, where he had become legionary tribune, the soldiers spread their clothes in the way. Mat 21:7, Mat 21:8; Mar 11:7, Mar 11:8\non the top: The ancient fortified cities were generally strengthened with a citadel (Jdg 9:46, Jdg 9:51), commonly built on an eminence, to which they ascended by a flight of stairs (Neh 3:15). It is extremely probable, therefore, that Ramoth-gilead, being a frontier town of Israel and Syria, had a tower of this nature; and that Jehu was proclaimed king on the top of the stairs by which they ascended the hill on which the tower stood, i.e., in the area before the door of the tower, and consequently the most public place in the city.\nblew with trumpets: Sa2 15:10; Kg1 1:34, Kg1 1:39; Psa 47:5-7, Psa 98:6\nis king: Heb. reigneth\nconspired: Kg2 9:31, Kg2 8:12-15, Kg2 10:9, Kg2 15:30; Kg1 15:27, Kg1 16:7, Kg1 16:9, Kg1 16:16\nkept Ramothgilead: Kg2 8:28; Kg1 22:3\nJoram: Heb.

The same punishment, it is well known, obtained among the Romans, who used to throw certain malefactors from the Tarpeian rock.
