Matthew Henry's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 27:29
Commentary on 1 Chronicles 27:16-34
(Read 1 Chronicles 27:16-34)
The officers of the court, or the rulers of the king's substance, had the oversight and charge of the king's tillage, his vineyards, his herds, his flocks, which formed the wealth of eastern kings. Much of the wisdom of princes is seen in the choice of their ministry, and common persons show it in the choice of their advisers. David, though he had all these about him, preferred the word of God before them all. Thy testimonies are my delight and my counsellors.
