Adam Clarke Bible Commentary

Psalms 35:26

Verse Psalms 35:26. Let them be ashamed] This may be a prophetic declaration against Saul and his courtiers. They were ashamed, confounded, clothed with shame, and dishonoured. All these took place in Saul's last battle with the Philistines, where he lost his crown and his life, and came to a most dishonourable end.
