Leasing. (falsehood). This word is retained in the Authorized Version of Psa_4:2; Psa_5:6 from the older English versions; but the Hebrew word of which it is the rendering is elsewhere, almost uniformly, translated "lies." Psa_40:4; Psa_58:3 etc.
Smith's Bible Dictionary
By Dr. William Smith.Published in 1863
lēz?ing (כּזב, kāzabh ?to devise,? ?to fabricate,? hence, ?to lie?; occurs but twice in the King James Version (Psa_4:2, the Revised Version (British and American) ?falsehood?; Psa_5:6, the Revised Version (British and American) ?lies?); the Hebrew word is translated ?liars? (Psa_116:11); ?lie? or deceive (Job_6:28)): The idea of treachery, lying, and deceit, lies at the root of this word. Joab's conduct is a good illustration of the meaning (2Sa_3:27; 2Sa_20:8-10). In Psa_5:6 David is referring to the cunning, treachery, and falsehood of his adversaries; compare 2Sa_13:28; 2Sa_15:7-9. Doubtless David had a special person in mind as being guilty of ?leasing,? probably Ahithophel.
