This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Doth safely trust in her, for the prudent and faithful management of all his domestic affairs, which are committed to her care.
So that he shall have no need of spoil; the sense is either,
1. He shall want no necessary provisions for his family, which are sometimes called spoil, or prey, as below, Pro_31:15 Psa_111:5 Luk_11:22. Or,
2. He shall not need to use indirect and unlawful courses to get wealth, by cheating or oppressing his subjects or others, as princes have oft done to maintain the luxury of their wives, and as Solomon himself afterwards did, of which see on 1Ki_12:4,10,11, because all shall be abundantly supplied to him by her providence.
