And he hath slandered thy servant unto my lord the king; but my lord the king [is] as an angel of God: do therefore [what is] good in thine eyes.
Ver. 27. And he hath slandered thy servant.] Traduxit, detulit per criminationem falsam. The slanderer's tonic, as sharp as the quills of a porcupine, woundeth the good name of another; this is an unexpressible injury; for, Postea nullus eris. afterward you will be nothing.
