John Trapp on Proverbs 18:18

Verſ. 18. The lot cauſeth contentions to ceaſe] As it did, Joſh. 14.2. Where it is remarkable, that Joſhua that lotted out the Land, left none to himſelf; and that portion that was given him, and hee content withall, was but a mean one in the barren mountains. So again, Act. 1.26. where it is remarkable, that this Joſeph called Barſabas, ſeeing it was not Gods mind by lot to make choice of him now to ſucceed Judas in the Apoſtleſhip, was content with a lower condition; therefore afterwards God called him to that high and honourable office of an Apoſtle, if at leaſt this Joſeph Barſabas, were the ſame with that Joſeph Barnabas, Act. 4.36. as the Centuriſts are of opinion. See the Note on Chap. 16.23.
