This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Pro_29:4 The king by judgment establisheth the land: but he that receiveth gifts overthroweth it.
Ver. 4. The king by judgment stablisheth the land.] This one piece of Solomon’s politics hath much more good advice in it than all Lypsius’s Beehive, or Machiavel’s Spider web.
But he that receiveth gifts.] Heb., A man of oblations; that is, as some interpret it, a man that sacreligiously meddleth with things dedicated to pious uses, and makes a gain of them to himself. See Pro_20:25.
