Psalms 133:1 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

PSALM 133 THE ARGUMENT. This Psalm was composed by David upon the happy occasion of the ending of the civil war between the two houses of Saul and David; in which, having felt the sad effects of discord and division, both the king and people were more sensible of the great blessing of reconciliation and unity. David extolleth the benefit and excellency of the unity and brotherly communion of the faithful. Behold, how good and how pleasant it is! you have been harassed by a civil war, take notice of this blessed change with thankfulness to God for it. For brethren; for us, who are brethren, not only by nature and blood, but also by combination in one and the same commonwealth, and by the profession of the same religion.
