| Resumo: | According to its superscription, Psalm 7 was uttered by David in reaction to ‘the words of Cush, a Benjaminite’, a reference that has produced a range of speculation. This study argues that the connection drawn between the psalm and the David story is prompted by similarities between the poem and a wide range of interconnected narratives in Samuel, all of which relate to David's restraint in his dealings with Saul and other Benjaminites. The specific episode involving Cush is best placed in the context of David's flight from Saul when he is hiding in the ‘strongholds’, in light of previously identified similarities to 1 Samuel 24 and newly identified parallels to 1 Chronicles 12. In this connection, a new solution is suggested for the psalm's problematic v. 5b. |
