Proverbs 22:20

Excellent things; or, princely things, as they are called, Proverbs 8:6, the great things of God's law, as Hosea 8:12. In counsels and knowledge; consisting of counsels to direct thy practice, and knowledge to inform and enrich thy mind. Or by that known figure hendiadis, in counsels of knowledge, i.e. in good counsels, which proceed from sound knowledge, and make a man knowing and wise, which are opposed to the counsels of the wicked, Proverbs 12:5, which are without knowledge.
