68 :
14 the change from war to peace is likened to snow on the dark mountain ,
as some interpret the expression .
Others suppose the words here mean that the bones of the slain left unburied covered the land ,
so that it seemed to be white as if covered with snow .
The reference ,
however ,
of the psalm is probably to Josh .

The scattering of the kings and their followers is fitly likened unto the snow -
flakes rapidly falling on the dark Salmon .
It is the modern Jebel Suleiman .
