 1 Behold, how good and how pleasant *it is* for brethren to dwell together in unity!*

 2 *It is* like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, *even* Aaron’s beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;

 3 As the dew of Hermon, *and as the dew* that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, *even* life for evermore.

## Commentary

 To verse 1
 
[Psalms 133:1](/kjv/psalms/133/1) « A Song of degrees of David. » Behold, how good and how pleasant [it is] for brethren to dwell together in unity! 

Ver. 1. **Behold, how good and how pleasant it is** ] This David is thought to have said to the people, when, after eight years’ unnatural war, they came together to Hebron, to anoint him king over all Israel,[2Sa 5:1-5](/kjv/-2sa/5/1-5) Behold, be affected with that happiness of yours which no tongue can utter. *Accipe quod sentitur antequam discitur,* as Cyprian saith in another case. 

**** 

**How good and how pleasant** ] Precious and profitable, sweet and delectable, λιπαρον και λαμτρον , dainty and goodly, as [Revelation 18:14](/kjv/revelation/18/14) . Communion of saints is the next happiness upon earth to communion with God. 

**** 

**For brethren** ] Whether by place, race; or grace, which last is the strongest tie; and should cause such a harmony of hearts as might resemble that concord and concent that shall be in heaven. The Thebans in their armies had a band of men they called the holy band; consisting of such only as were joined together in the bonds of love, as would live and die together; these they made great account of, and esteemed the strength of their armies, ιερος λοχος εξ εραστων και ερωμενων (Athenaeus, lib. 3). 

**** 

**To dwell together** ] Heb. even together, that is, even as God dwelleth with them, [Psalms 132:13-14](/kjv/psalms/132/13-14) , to be "kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love," [Romans 12:10](/kjv/romans/12/10) , to be as those primitive Christians were, [Acts 2:24-27](/kjv/acts/2/24-27) , of one heart and of one soul. The number of two hath by the heathens been accounted accursed, because it was the first that departed from unity.
