mulberry - Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary :

  Mulberry
  Heb. bakah, "to weep;" rendered "Baca" (R.V., "weeping") in Ps.
  84:6. The plural form of the Hebrew bekaim is rendered "mulberry
  trees" in 2 Sam. 5:23, 24 and 1 Chr. 14:14, 15. The tree here
  alluded to was probably the aspen or trembling poplar. "We know
  with certainty that the black poplar, the aspen, and the
  Lombardy poplar grew in Palestine. The aspen, whose long
  leaf-stalks cause the leaves to tremble with every breath of
  wind, unites with the willow and the oak to overshadow the
  watercourses of the Lebanon, and with the oleander and the
  acacia to adorn the ravines of Southern Palestine" (Kitto). By
  "the sound of a going in the tops of the mulberry trees" we are
  to understand a rustling among the trees like the marching of an
  army. This was the signal that the Lord himself would lead forth
  David's army to victory. (See SYCAMINE.)
