"He will keepª ° the feetª of his saints,ª and the wickedª shall be silentª ° in darkness;ª for¹ by strengthª shall no¹ manª prevail.ª °" {1Sm 2:9} + "Yet a manª is risenª ° to pursueª ° thee, and to seekª °¹ thy soul:ª but the soulª of my lordª shall be¹ boundª ° in the bundleª of lifeª with¹ the LORDª thy God;ª and the soulsª of thine enemies,ª ° them shall he sling out,ª ° [as out] of the middleª ² of a sling.ª" {1Sm 25:29}

the king:
"Afterª whom¹ is the kingª of Israelª come out?ª ° afterª whom¹ dost thou¹ pursue?ª ° afterª a deadª ° dog,ª afterª aª flea.ª" {1Sm 24:14} + "Andª while² ° heª yetª spake,ª ° lo,ª ° Judas,ª oneª of the¹ twelve,ª came,ª ° andª withª himª a greatª multitudeª withª swordsª andª staves,ª fromª the¹ chief priestsª andª eldersª of the¹ people.ª" {Mtt 26:47} + "Inª that sameª hourª saidª ° Jesusª to the¹ multitudes,ª Are ye come outª ° asª againstª a thiefª withª swordsª andª stavesª for to takeª ° me?ª I satª ° dailyª ª withª youª teachingª ° inª the¹ temple,ª andª ye laid² ° no² holdª °¹ on me.ª" {Mtt 26:55}

a flea:
Parosh, (in Arabic borghooth, Syriac, poorthano,) the well known little contemptible and troublesome insect, the flea, seems to be so called from its agility in leaping and skipping, from para, "free," and raash, "to leap, bound." David, by comparing himself to this insect, seems to import, that while it would cost Saul much pains to catch him, he would obtain but very little advantage from it.

a partridge:
Korai certainly denotes the partridge, which is called in Arabic, kiraa. It seems to be so called from the cry or cur which it utters when calling its young.
