Commentary on Psalms 55:12
David's pain at betrayal by an intimate companion prophetically foreshadows Christ's betrayal by Judas (John 13:18). The Hebrew 'alluph' (close friend/guide) intensifies the treachery. Reformed theology sees this as typological—David's suffering prefiguring Christ's, demonstrating that God's Messiah would experience the fullness of human grief including betrayal.
