On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

They made it their whole business to ruin David; all their thoughts were against him for evil, which put evil interpretations upon all his words. That they were very restless and unwearied. They continually waited for his soul; it was the life, the precious life, they hunted for; it was his death they longed for,

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Such as this is the enmity of Satan and his agents against the kingdom of Christ and the interests of his holy religion, which if we cordially espouse, we must not think it strange to meet with such treatment as this, as though some strange thing happened to us.
