Hawker's Poor man's commentary

1 Chronicles 29:9

The rejoicing of prince and people affords a lively representation of the happiness of the soul when all things are going well between God and us. If I am at peace with God in Christ, all things else must be at peace with me. For when a man's ways please the Lord, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him. Proverbs 16:7.
