Commentary on Proverbs 16:15
In the light of the king's countenance is life; and his favour is as a cloud of the latter rain. Be'or-peney-melekh chayyim (בְּאוֹר־פְּנֵי־מֶלֶךְ חַיִּים, in the light of the king's face—life). Royal favor brings life and prosperity. Uretsono ke'av malqosh (וּרְצוֹנוֹ כְּעָב מַלְקוֹשׁ, and his favor like cloud of latter rain). Malqosh (מַלְקוֹשׁ, latter rain) came in spring, essential for harvest. The king's favor is life-giving like needed rain. This earthly truth points to God's favor as ultimate life source. Psalm 4:6 prays: "LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us."
