an ass   These animals were not anciently, as now, used only by the lower classes, but were in general use among the noble and chief personages of the East, and it was not unusual for even the husband to walk by the side of his wife while thus riding; the driver, as was the custom, following.

Drive   1Sa 25:19
slack not thy riding for me   Heb. restrain not for me to ride.
