The imprecation which David made against his enemies may stand for a commination against all Gods enemies, that when they1 are become chaff, or dust, the wind shall rise and blow them away: and when they walk in ways that be dark and slippery, the Angel of the Lord shall persecute them. We read of divers kings and Canaanites which came to destroy the Gibeonites, because they entered into league with Israel, that first they were discomfited2 by Joshua, then they fled in fear, and great confusion, & then fell great hailstones upon them, and so they perished. In the s•me case or as bad was Sisera, who being vanquished by Barak was driven from him his chariot, and army, to take himself3 to his heels, & fly away alone, in dread & danger, being weary and thirsty: and where he hoped for help, there felt he hurt; and whom he took for his friend, and preserver of his life, he found to be his foe, and worker of his death.
