Nehemiah 13:21
Verse 21. I will lay hands on you] I will imprison every man of you. This had the desired effect; they came no more. Psalms 55:20
Verse 20. He hath put forth his hands] A farther description of Ahithophel. He betrayed his friends, and he broke his covenant with his king. He had agreed to serve David for his own emolument, and a stipulation was made accordingly; but while receiving the king's pay, he was endeavouring to subvert the kingdom, and destroy the life of his sovereign.
