  From  Easton's  1897  Bible  Dictionary  [easton]: 
 
  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}.)
