They have gathered them selves together against me.
It seems they contemned and reproached him singly, or every man apart; but they joined altogether in consulting and plotting against him.
It seemes they contemned and reproached him singly, or every man apart; but they joyned altogether in consulting and plotting against him.
The word that we translate to gather together, hath a second signification, namely, to fill, either as a room is filled with Goods, or Persons, or as the stomach is filled with meat,1 or food, or as an Army with Men. Hence Master Broughton translates, They come by full Troops upon me: And another, They will be filled with me, or upon me. The Vulgar explains it thus, They are filled or satiated with my punishment: or as a third, They have taken their fill of pleasure at my miseries. The reason of this sense ariseth from the former; because, where many things or persons are gathered together, they fill up that place.
