1 Chronicles 16:21

Suffered no man. This is a poetic generalization expressing the idea that God considers His people the object of His supreme regard. In the care exercised toward Israel He manifested His infinite love and never-failing solicitude. When man turns from God he turns away God’s protecting arm, and evils that might otherwise have been averted now befall him. However, not all the evils that afflict the human family arise from this source. Because of the involvements of the great controversy between good and evil Satan is permitted to persecute the righteous so that an experience of suffering is not necessarily an evidence that the Lord has forsaken the sufferer (see Job 1 and 2; John 9:2, 3).

He reproved kings. See Genesis 12:17; 20:3; Exodus 3:20; 12:29-33.
