This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
A divine sentence - קסם kesem, “divination,” as the margin has it. Is the meaning as follows? Though divination were applied to a righteous king’s lips, to induce him to punish the innocent and spare the guilty, yet would not his lips transgress in judgment; so firmly attached is he to God, and so much is he under the Divine care and influence. Whatever judgment such a one pronounces, it may be considered as a decision from God.
