2 S. 19:35• 35Yo soy hoy día de edad de ochenta años, que ya no haré diferencia entre lo bueno y lo malo: ¿tomará gusto ahora tu siervo en lo que comiere ó bebiere? ¿oiré más la voz de los cantores y de las cantoras? ¿para qué, pues, sería aún tu siervo molesto á mi señor el rey? (2 S. 19:35)
• Closer still the enemy presses, till the close-beleaguered fortress is shut out from all communication with the outer world; “the doors are shut in the streets”; the ears are dulled to all sounds. Even the grinding of the mill, which in an eastern house rarely ceases, reaches him but as a low murmur, though it be really as loud as the shrill piping of a bird, and all the sweet melodies of song are no longer to be enjoyed. (“Ecclesiastes 12” by F.C. Jennings)

and the doors are shut toward the street; when the sound of the grinding is subdued, and they rise up at the voice of the bird, and all the daughters of song are brought low;
