A malicious mischievous man is here represented, 1. As ungrateful to
his friends. He oftentimes is so absurd and insensible of kindnesses
done him that he renders evil for good. David met with those that were
his adversaries for his love, Ps. cix. 4. To render evil for evil is
brutish, but to render evil for good is devilish. He is an ill-natured
man who, because he is resolved not to return a kindness, will revenge
it. 2. As therein unkind to his family, for he entails a curse upon it.
This is a crime so heinous that it shall be punished, not only in his
person, but in his posterity, for whom he thus treasures up wrath. The
sword shall not depart from David's house because he rewarded Uriah
with evil for his good services. The Jews stoned Christ for his good
works; therefore is his blood upon them and upon their children.
