Sometimes they are afraid others will hurt them, and that makes them hate them: others have threatened them, have made attempts that way; sometimes they have provoked others, and they expect the fruit of their displeasure, and upon that account they seek their hurt. Hanun had given occasion of anger to Lavid, and then prepares to make War with him, 2 Sam. 10.6. If they are but jealous, that another will do them a displeasure, they have an evil eye towards him, 1 Sam. 24.9. Self-love makes them to have an ill affection towards others because they stand in their way. Men are in the pursuit of some advantage, and some others stand in their way, they are ⟨p. 42⟩competitors? with them for the same Office, others are as well accomplished as themselves, and they have an interest in the heart of those that have power to prefer them, and so themselves are in danger of disappointment, and they can't bear them, they will tell of their infirmities, and seek their ruin. Abner can't bear Amasa's advancement, 2 Sam. 24.10.
