Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

1 Chronicles 14:2

_ _ his kingdom was lifted up on high, because of his people Israel — This is an important truth, that sovereigns are invested with royal honor and authority, not for their own sakes so much as for that of their people. But while it is true of all kings, it was especially applicable to the monarchs of Israel, and even David was made to know that all his glory and greatness were given only to fit him, as the minister of God, to execute the divine purposes towards the chosen people.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 1 Chronicles 14:1-7.
