On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

As for Saul himself, David, it is probable, knew that God had rejected him and had forbidden Samuel to mourn for him, 1 Sam. xvi. And these predictions look further, and read the doom of the enemies of Christ and his kingdom, as appears by comparing Rom. xi.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

They were very unrighteous; they were his enemies wrongfully, for he never gave them any provocation: They hated him without a cause; nay, for that for which they ought rather to have loved and honoured him. This is quoted, with application to Christ, and is said to be fulfilled in him.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Mockers - They made themselves buffoons and jesters, and accustomed themselves to mock and deride David, that thereby they might gain admittance to the tables of great men, which was all they sought for.
