The three subjects of the three Psalms of this last group are merged in blessing. **of David** = by David. Hezekiah found this Psalm exactly suited for his purpose. David wrote it on the experience of a similar blessing of "unity, "when "all Israel" were united "as the heart of ONE MAN "([2 Samuel 19:9](../../../kjv/2-samuel/19/9) , [2 Samuel 19:14](../../../kjv/2-samuel/19/14) ). It was the same with Hezekiah. Read [2 Chronicles 30:5](../../../kjv/2-chronicles/30/5) , [2 Chronicles 30:6](../../../kjv/2-chronicles/30/6) , 2Ch 30:11 , [2 Chronicles 30:18](../../../kjv/2-chronicles/30/18) , and note the "ONE HEART" ( Psa 133:12 ). See App-67 . **Behold.** The word of the Holy Spirit; as "yea" is of the Father; and "verily" of the Son. Note the Figure of speech *Asterismos.* App-6 . **how good.** This was manifested in [2 Chronicles 30:25](../../../kjv/2-chronicles/30/25) , [2 Chronicles 30:26](../../../kjv/2-chronicles/30/26) . **unity** = one. The reference is to the "one man" of [2 Samuel 19:14](../../../kjv/2-samuel/19/14) (David), and the "one heart" of [2 Chronicles 30:12](../../../kjv/2-chronicles/30/12) (Hezekiah). Hebrew. *yahad* (not *'ehad.* See note on [Deuteronomy 6:4](../../../kjv/deuteronomy/6/4) . Compare Josephus ( *Antiquities* ix. 13, 2). **ointment** = oil ([Exodus 30:23-25](../../../kjv/exodus/30/23-25) ). **ran down** = descended. [Exodus 29:7](../../../kjv/exodus/29/7) . [Leviticus 8:12](../../../kjv/leviticus/8/12) ; [Leviticus 21:10](../../../kjv/leviticus/21/10) . **went down** = descended, as in [Psalms 133:3](../../../kjv/psalms/133/3) . **to the skirts, &c.** = to the opening of his robes (see [Exodus 28:32](../../../kjv/exodus/28/32) ). Hebrew = mouth (or opening). **As** = [It is] like, as in [Psalms 133:2](../../../kjv/psalms/133/2) . **And as the dew.** Omit these italics. **descended.** Compare [Psalms 133:2](../../../kjv/psalms/133/2) . **Zion.** The dew (or copious summer night mist) was *one.* The same dew descended on Zion in the south as on Hermon in the north. Zion's dew represents the tribe of Judah. Hermon's dew represents Asher, Ephraim, Manasseh, Zebulon, Issachar ([2 Chronicles 30:11](../../../kjv/2-chronicles/30/11) , [2 Chronicles 30:18](../../../kjv/2-chronicles/30/18) , [2 Chronicles 30:25](../../../kjv/2-chronicles/30/25) , [2 Chronicles 30:26](../../../kjv/2-chronicles/30/26) ). The idea is not in the *motion* of this dew, from Hermon to Zion, but in its uniting both in its copious descent. **there.** Compare [Deuteronomy 12:5](../../../kjv/deuteronomy/12/5) , [Deuteronomy 12:11](../../../kjv/deuteronomy/12/11) , [Deuteronomy 12:14](../../../kjv/deuteronomy/12/14) , [Deuteronomy 12:18](../../../kjv/deuteronomy/12/18) , [Deuteronomy 12:21](../../../kjv/deuteronomy/12/21) .[Psalms 128:5](../../../kjv/psalms/128/5) ; [Psalms 134:3](../../../kjv/psalms/134/3) ; [Psalms 133](../../../kjv/psalms/133) is blessing in Zion; [Psalms 132](../../../kjv/psalms/132) is blessing for Zion ; [Psalms 134](../../../kjv/psalms/134) is blessing from Zion. **the LORD.** Hebrew. *Jehovah.* App-4 . ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#website","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com","name":"Real Bible Believers","description":"RBB","publisher":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509"},"potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/search?q={search_term_string}","query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"ImageObject","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/bullingers-companion-bible-notes/psalms/133#primaryimage","inLanguage":"en-US","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/images/missing.jpg","contentUrl":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/images/missing.jpg","width":640,"height":370,"caption":"Bullinger's Companion Bible Notes - Psalms 133"},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/bullingers-companion-bible-notes/psalms/133#webpage","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/bullingers-companion-bible-notes/psalms/133","name":"Bullinger's Companion Bible Notes - Psalms 133","isPartOf":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#website"},"primaryImageOfPage":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/bullingers-companion-bible-notes/psalms/133#primaryimage"},"datePublished":null,"dateModified":null,"author":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509"},"description":"Title.
