Psalms 27:2 - Exposition

When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell. A special occasion seems to be intended, so that the LXX . have rightly, ἠσθένησαν καὶ ἔπεσαν . Some unrecorded event in the war with Absalom before the final struggle, is probably alluded to. There is an emphasis on " mine enemies," which implies that the adversaries were not the foes of the country, but David's personal foes.
