gave   Lam 3:30; Mic 5:1; Mat 5:39; Mat 26:67; Mat 27:26; Mar 14:65; Mar 15:19; Luk 22:63,64; Jhn 18:22; Hbr 12:2
my cheeks   The eastern people always held the beard in great veneration; and to pluck a man's beard is one of the grossest indignities that can be offered. D'Arvieux gives a remarkable instance of an Arab, who, having received a wound in his jaw, chose to hazard his life rather than suffer the surgeon to cut off his beard. See Note on 2Sa 10:4.
that plucked   Neh 13:25
I hid   Another instance of the utmost contempt and detestation. Throughout the East it is highly offensive to spit in any one's presence; and if this is such an indignity, how much more spitting in the face?
