Proverbs 24:6 - Exposition

Thy war; war for thyself, for thy profit, equivalent to "successful war" (comp. Exodus 14:14 ). The clause is an echo of Proverbs 20:18 (where see note). The last line is a repetition of Proverbs 11:14 (comp. also Proverbs 15:22 ). Septuagint, "War is made with generalship ( κυβερνήσεως ), and help with a heart that counsels."
