In Jewish tradition

It means bitter in spirit, troubled or in distress. These are people who joined David because life had left them unhappy and in need.

Interpretation. David's band of outcasts at the cave is seen as the beginning of his rise, as God gathers those who are low and shapes them into followers of the future king.

Examples

And every one that was in distress, and every one that was in debt, and every one that was discontented, gathered themselves unto him; and he became captain over them; and there were with him about four hundred men. (Prophets 1SA.22.2, JPS 1917) tree →
