Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(21) This verse was originally the apodosis to 1Chronicles 16:19. as in Psalms 105 : "When they were but few . . . and went from nation to nation . . . he suffered no man," &c.He suffered no man.--Heb., he permitted to no man, as in 2Samuel 16:11.
