Allusion2
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
'No prophecy ever came by the will of man, but holy men spoke being moved by the Holy Spirit' rests on David's claim, 'The Spirit of the LORD speaks by me; his word is on my tongue' — the model of Spirit-carried prophecy.
Medium confidencePeter says 'the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David' the scripture about Judas. This inspiration formula echoes David's own claim, 'The Spirit of the Lord spoke by me, and his word was on my tongue.' Volume: shared the-Spirit-spoke-through-David formula. Thematic coherence high; it grounds the Davidic psalter as prophetic of Judas. Recurrence: Luke repeatedly attributes the Psalms to David's Spirit-inspired prophecy (e.g., Acts 2:30; 4:25).

'The Spirit of the LORD spoke by me, and his word was in my tongue.' David's last words present the same pattern of the Spirit speaking through a human mouth, a faint background for the Spirit of the Father speaking in the disciples (10:20).
