The memory of sweet fellowship and walking to God's house in the throng establishes the positive relationship that has been destroyed, making the betrayal even more painful through contrast with past intimacy. The image of walking together in the midst of the assembly suggests that the relationship was public and acknowledged, adding the dimension of public shame to the private betrayal. The location in God's house emphasizes that this was a sacred relationship, undertaken within the sphere of covenant and community worship. This verse heightens the pain by dwelling on what has been lost: fellowship, intimacy, and shared worship in God's presence.
