This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Anarchy producing contending rulers shortens the reign of each.
but by a man ... prolonged - or, “by a man of understanding - that is, a good ruler - he who knows or regards the right, that is, a good citizen, shall prolong (his days).” Good rulers are a blessing to the people. Bad government as a punishment for evil is contrasted with good as blessing to the good.
