   Though Moses was their ruler, under God, yet, so far from
   oppressing them, he had not imposed the smallest tax, nor
   taken, as a present, so much as an ass from one of them.  The
   common present that is now made to the great, in these
   countries, is a horse; but there is reason to believe, that an
   ass might formerly have answered the same purpose.  "If it is
   a visit of ceremony from a {bashaw,}" says Dr. Russell, "or
   other person in power, a fine horse, sometimes with furniture,
   or some such valuable present, is made to him at his
   departure."  As asses were esteemed no dishonourable beasts
   for the saddle, Sir. J. Chardin, in his MS., supposes, that
   when Samuel disclaimed having taken the ass of any one, (1; Sa
   12:3,) he is to be understood of not having taken any ass for
   his riding.  In the same light, he considers this similar
   declaration of Moses.  His reason is "asses being then
   esteemed very honourable creatures for riding on, (ch.  22:21,
   30.  Jud 5:10.  2; Sa 16:2,) as they are at this very time in
   Persia, being rode with saddles."
