The recompense of the charitable4. David complains of his enemies' treachery 10. He flees to God for helpfulness (8) An evil disease.--Margin, thing of Belial. (For "Belial," see Deuteronomy 13:13.) The expression may mean, as in LXX. and Vulg., "a lawless speech," so the Chaldee, "a perverse word." Syriac, "a word of iniquity," or "a physical evil," as in Authorised Version, or "a moral evil." The verse is difficult, not only from this ambiguity, but also from that of the verb, which, according to the derivation we take, may mean "cleave" or "pour forth." Modern scholars prefer the latter, understanding the image as taken from the process of casting metal. An incurable wound is poured out (welded) upon him. (Comp. "molten," 1Kings 7:24; 1Kings 7:30.) This does not, however, suit the context nearly so well as the reading, "A wicked saying have they directed against me: Let the sick man never rise again," which has the support of the LXX. and Vulg., though they make of the last clause a question, "Shall not the sleeper rise again?" Verse 8. - An evil disease (literally, a thing of Belial), say they, cleaveth fast unto him. (On the meaning of "Belial," see the comment on Psalm 18:4.) The "thing of Belial" here intended may, perhaps, be the disease from which David was suffering, but is more probably some disgraceful charge or infamous calumny which had been circulated concerning him, and was now crushing him down. This calumny is represented as poured out upon him like a coating of molten metal (see Job 41:23, 24), and so cleaving to him. And now that he lieth; i.e. "now that he is prostrate upon a sick-bed." He shall rise up no more. He shall not recover, but die of his malady.Parallel Commentaries ...
