This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Now begins the finale of this song in praise of the virtuous woman:
28 ק Her sons rise up and bless her,
Her husband (riseth up) and praiseth her.
The Piel אִשֵּׁר in such a connection is denom. of אשֶׁר (אַשְׁרֵי). Her children rise up (קוּם, like e.g., Jer 26:17, but here, perhaps, with the associated idea of reverential honour) and bless her, that she has on her part brought the house and them to such prosperity, such a position of respect, and to a state where love (חסד) reigns, and her husband rises up and sings her praise.
