Sforno on Deuteronomy 27:25/ספורנו על דברים כ״ז:כ״ה
אלוֹקֵחַ שֹׁחַד לְהַכּוֹת. כְּעִנְיַן דּוֹאֵג הָאֲדוֹמִי (שמואל א כב) וְהַזִּיפִים (שמואל א כג) לִמְצוֹא חֵן בְּעֵינֵי שָׁאוּל אוֹ לְהַרְוִיחַ.
1לוקח שוחד להכות, as in the case of Doeg the Edomite (Samuel I, chapter 22), whose accusation was intended to win him favours from the king. Compare also chapter 23 about the Ziphites. Tale-bearing is such a type of interest mentioned in our verse.
