Or, David told; i. e. David being hereof informed, acquaints his friends and followers with it, to stir them up to [illegible: 1+ letters]oyn with him, in the following Prayer against him.

Either infatuate him, that he may give foolish Counsel; o[illegible: 1+ letters] let his Counsel be rejected as foolish, or spoiled by the foolish Execution of it.
