Jehoram

Your correspondent asks, “Has the author any authority for using the Forty-fifth Psalm as the marriage hymn of Ahab and Jezebel?” For an answer I will refer to [Ferdinand] Hitzig; but if the works of that writer should not be obtainable, then perhaps the footnote on Page 348 of [Frederic] Farrar’s “First Book of Kings” will be accepted. Surely the mention of the “daughter of Tyre” and of “ivory palaces” gives more color to such a theory than to that assigning it as the marriage hymn of Solomon or of Athaliah and Jehoram [of Judah].

A man met a Chesterian on Third street this morning, and said: “I say, do you know a man named John Jehoram Smith?” “Yes, I’ve heard of him.” “Do you know anything about him?” “Y-e-s, I do.” “Pretty tough sort of a fellow ain’t he?” “I don’t know about that—he’s my father.” The interrogator disappeared in the direction of the footbridge.

As the barber would delicately wield the blade, with little finger crooked, the victim might see that Jehoram Smith sold meat, by the picture of the meat wagon above his name, or perhaps a meat block with the customers crowding around to prove its evident popularity.
