The general ethical proverb is here followed by one that is political: 2 When the righteous increase, the people rejoice; And when a godless man ruleth, the people mourn. Regarding 'בּרבות צדּ (Aquila rightly, ἐν τῷ πληθῦναι δικαίους), vid., at Pro 28:28. If the righteous form the majority, or are in such numbers that they are the party that give the tone, that form the predominant power among the people (Fleischer, cum incrementa capiunt justi), then the condition of the people is a happy one, and their voice joyful (Pro 11:10); if, on the contrary, a godless man or (after Pro 28:1) godless men rule, the people are made to sigh (יאנח עם, with the Gaja, according to rule). "There is reason," as Hitzig remarks, "why עם should be placed first with, and then without, the article." In the first case it denotes the people as those among whom there is such an increase of the righteous; in the second case, the article is wanting, because it is not generally used in poetry; and, besides, its absence makes the second line consist of nine syllables, like the first.
افتح المصدر ↗This is what was said before, Pro 28:12, Pro 28:28. 1. The people will have cause to rejoice or mourn according as their rulers are righteous or wicked; for, if the righteous be in authority, sin will be punished and restrained, religion and virtue will be supported and kept in reputation; but, if the wicked get power in their hands, wickedness will abound, religion and religious people will be persecuted, and so the ends of government will be perverted. 2. The people will actually rejoice or mourn according as their rulers are righteous or wicked. Such a conviction are even the common people under of the excellency of virtue and religion that they will rejoice when they see them preferred and countenanced; and, on the contrary, let men have ever so much honour or power, if they be wicked and vicious, and use it ill, they make themselves contemptible and base before all the people (as those priests, Mal 2:9) and subjects will think themselves miserable under such a government.

إِذَا فَرِحَ الصِّدِّيقُونَ عَظُمَ الْفَخْرُ، وَعِنْدَ قِيَامِ الأَشْرَارِ تَخْتَفِي النَّاسُ.
بِخَيْرِ الصِّدِّيقِينَ تَفْرَحُ الْمَدِينَةُ، وَعِنْدَ هَلاَكِ الأَشْرَارِ هُتَافٌ.
عِنْدَ قِيَامِ الأَشْرَارِ تَخْتَبِئُ النَّاسُ، وَبِهَلاَكِهِمْ يَكْثُرُ الصِّدِّيقُونَ.
وَخَرَجَ مُرْدَخَايُ مِنْ أَمَامِ الْمَلِكِ بِلِبَاسٍ مَلِكِيٍّ أَسْمَانْجُونِيٍّ وَأَبْيَضَ، وَتَاجٌ عَظِيمٌ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، وَحُلَّةٌ مِنْ بَزّ وَأُرْجُوَانٍ. وَكَانَتْ مَدِينَةُ شُوشَنَ مُتَهَلِّلَةً وَفَرِحَةً.
يُوجَدُ شَرٌّ رَأَيْتُهُ تَحْتَ الشَّمْسِ، كَسَهْوٍ صَادِرٍ مِنْ قِبَلِ الْمُتَسَلِّطِ:
فَخَرَجَ السُّعَاةُ وَأَمْرُ الْمَلِكِ يَحُثُّهُمْ، وَأُعْطِيَ الأَمْرُ فِي شُوشَنَ الْقَصْرِ. وَجَلَسَ الْمَلِكُ وَهَامَانُ لِلشُّرْبِ، وَأَمَّا الْمَدِينَةُ شُوشَنُ فَارْتَبَكَتْ.
ثُمَّ بَوَّقَ الْمَلاَكُ السَّابِعُ، فَحَدَثَتْ أَصْوَاتٌ عَظِيمَةٌ فِي السَّمَاءِ قَائِلَةً:«قَدْ صَارَتْ مَمَالِكُ الْعَالَمِ لِرَبِّنَا وَمَسِيحِهِ، فَسَيَمْلِكُ إِلَى أَبَدِ الآبِدِينَ».
حِينَئِذٍ لَمَّا رَأَى هِيرُودُسُ أَنَّ الْمَجُوسَ سَخِرُوا بِهِ غَضِبَ جِدًّا. فَأَرْسَلَ وَقَتَلَ جَمِيعَ الصِّبْيَانِ الَّذِينَ فِي بَيْتِ لَحْمٍ وَفِي كُلِّ تُخُومِهَا، مِنِ ابْنِ سَنَتَيْنِ فَمَا دُونُ، بِحَسَب الزَّمَانِ الَّذِي تَحَقَّقَهُ مِنَ الْمَجُوسِ.
فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ هِيرُودُسُ الْمَلِكُ اضْطَرَبَ وَجَمِيعُ أُورُشَلِيمَ مَعَهُ.
