Psalms 59:6

“They return at evening, etc.] It was at evening Saul sent messengers to watch David’s house, that they might take him in the morning; but missing him, perhaps after a fruitless search for him all the day, returned at evening to watch his house again; or they might come, and go and return the first evening. So it was night when Judas set out from Bethany, to go to the chief priests at Jerusalem, to covenant with them, and betray his master; and it was in the night he did betray him, after he had eaten the passover at evening with him.

“59:6-8 The wicked threaten like vicious dogs, but the Lord responds with scorn.”
