- The enemies:
- Thus Cushi obliquely and slowly informs David of the death of his son Absalom. "So¹ let all¹ thine enemiesª° perish,ª° O LORD:ª but [let] them that loveª° him [be] as the sunª when he goeth forthª° in his might.ª And the landª had restª° fortyª years.ª" {Jdg 5:31} + "[[To the chief Musician,ª° A Psalmª [or] Songª of David.]]ª Let Godª arise,ª° let his enemiesª° be scattered:ª° let them also that hateª° him fleeª° beforeª¹ him. ... As smokeª is driven away,ª° [so] drive [them] away:ª° as waxª meltethª° beforeª¹ the fire,ª [so] let the wickedª perishª° at the presenceª¹ of God.ª" {Psa 68:1-2} + "Thenª Daniel,ª whose¹ nameª [was] Belteshazzar,ª was astoniedª° for oneª hour,ª and his thoughtsª troubledª° him. The kingª spake,ª° and said,ª° Belteshazzar,ª let notª the dream,ª or the interpretationª thereof, troubleª° thee. Belteshazzarª answeredª° and said,ª° My lord,ª the dreamª [be] to them that hateª° thee, and the interpretationª thereof to thine enemies.ª" {Dan 4:19}
