Mulbury Trees. (Hebrew, becaim). Mention of these is made only in 2 Samuel 5:23-24 and 1 Chronicles 14:14. We are quite unable to determine what kind of tree is denoted by the Hebrew word. Some believe pear trees are meant; others, the aspen or poplar, whose leaves tremble and rustle with the slightest breeze, even when the breeze is not, otherwise, perceptible. It may have been to the rustling of these leaves that the "going in the tree tops" refers. 2 Samuel 5:23-24.
