Proverbs14:28
28. In the multitude of people is the kings honour , but in the want of people is the destruction of the prince.
Because it is an evidence of his wise and good government. Under honour he here comprehends also strength and safety, (as appears from the opposite Clause,) which depend much upon a Princes reputation. And honour may be here put for strength, as strength is put for honour or glory, Psal. 8. 2. & 29. 1. & 96. 7.
