EXPLANATION

Verse 13. Violence. Hebrew “laid snares.” This treatment might be expected from enemies, since friends proved so treacherous. Bible.—They would willingly have slain David. The will is often put for the deed. Calmet.—Things. Endeavouring to engage me again in sin, being displeased because I have quitted their evil company; ( Worthington.) or they raise their fortune, by causing dissensions in the state. This might be well applied to the Pharisees, who persecuted Christ.
