This expression highlights the deep bond and trust that existed between the psalmist and his companion. In the context of ancient Israel, fellowship was not merely social interaction but a spiritual communion, often involving shared meals and worship. This phrase underscores the pain of betrayal, as the psalmist reflects on the broken trust with someone who was once a close confidant. Historically, fellowship in the biblical sense was a covenantal relationship, emphasizing loyalty and mutual support, which makes the betrayal even more poignant. we walked with the crowd into the house of God Parallel Commentaries ...
