Psalms 83:3

Verse 3

3. Crafty counsel Hebrew, Craftily plotted a secret. Both the object and the plan of execution were a secret. Avoiding all customary army routes, they stealthily took the dangerous Bedouin trail around the south and west shores of the Dead Sea, a route which well nigh cost Jehoram his army soon after, (2 Kings 3:0,) and, ascending the mountains at Engedi, completely surprised Jehoshaphat. He had no time to collect his army, and had no army adequate to meet the foe.

Hidden ones Those whom God “hides in the secret of his tabernacle,” that is, protects. Psalms 27:5
