On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

This is a reason why we should despise none, but, as we have opportunity, be obliging to all. It is a great satisfaction to a wise man to be settled, and to a good man to see the special providences of God in his settlement.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Now Hiram king of Tyre--[See on 2Sa 5:11]. The alliance with this neighboring king, and the important advantages derived from it, were among the most fortunate circumstances in David's reign. The providence of God appeared concurrent with His promise in smoothing the early course of his reign.
