Ps 133:1
133:1 <> Behold, how good and how
pleasant [it is] for brethren to dwell {a} together in
unity!
(a) Because the greatest part was against David, though
some favoured him, yet when he was established king at
length, they joined all together like brothers: and
therefore he shows by these similarities the
convenience of brotherly love.
Ps 133:2
133:2 [It is] like the precious {b} ointment upon the head, that
ran down upon the beard, [even] Aaron's beard: that went
down to the skirts of his garments;
(b) The ointment was a figure of the graces which come
from Christ the head of his Church.
Ps 133:3
133:3 As the dew of {c} Hermon, [and as the dew] that descended
upon the mountains of Zion: for {d} there the LORD
commanded the blessing, [even] life for evermore.
(c) By Hermon and Zion he means the plentiful country
about Jerusalem.
(d) Where there is such concord.
