A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son. LORD, how are they increased that trouble me! many [are] they that rise up against me.
Psalms 3:1 — KJV
How are they increased! Absalom had a large following. Nearly all Israel had revolted (see 2 Sam. 15–17, especially 15:6, 13).
That rise up against me. Similar to the expression used by the Cushite who brought the tidings to David of the failure of Absalom’s defection (see 2 Sam. 18:31, 32).
