'Foes' in the Bible

So Gad came to David and told him, and said to him, “Shall seven years of famine come to you in your land? Or will you flee three months before your foes while they pursue you? Or shall there be three days’ pestilence in your land? Now consider and see what answer I shall return to Him who sent me.”

either three years of famine, or three months to be swept away before your foes, while the sword of your enemies overtakes you, or else three days of the sword of the Lord, even pestilence in the land, and the angel of the Lord destroying throughout all the territory of Israel.’ Now, therefore, consider what answer I shall return to Him who sent me.”

O Lord, lead me in Your righteousness because of my foes;Make Your way straight before me.

Teach me Your way, O Lord,And lead me in a level pathBecause of my foes.

Why should I fear in days of adversity,When the iniquity of my foes surrounds me,

He will recompense the evil to my foes;Destroy them in Your faithfulness.

My foes have trampled upon me all day long,For they are many who fight proudly against me.

My God in His lovingkindness will meet me;God will let me look triumphantly upon my foes.

Deliver me from the mire and do not let me sink;May I be delivered from my foes and from the deep waters.

And my eye has looked exultantly upon my foes,My ears hear of the evildoers who rise up against me.

Therefore the Lord God of hosts,The Mighty One of Israel, declares,“Ah, I will be relieved of My adversariesAnd avenge Myself on My foes.

Then afterwards,” declares the Lord, “I will give over Zedekiah king of Judah and his servants and the people, even those who survive in this city from the pestilence, the sword and the famine, into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of their foes and into the hand of those who seek their lives; and he will strike them down with the edge of the sword. He will not spare them nor have pity nor compassion.”’

For that day belongs to the Lord God of hosts,A day of vengeance, so as to avenge Himself on His foes;And the sword will devour and be satiatedAnd drink its fill of their blood;For there will be a slaughter for the Lord God of hosts,In the land of the north by the river Euphrates.
