Commentary on Proverbs 29:21
Theological / DevotionalHis servant. Domestic slavery was different from mass slavery. Affection and trust sometimes grew up between master and servant (see Gen. 15:2; Ex. 21:5, 6), and the servant might be made an heir.
Another view of the proverb makes it a warning against favoring an unworthy servant who might begin to poison the mind of the master against the master’s own children. In the end he may gain such influence over his master that he persuades him to disinherit the children and leave the family property to the wily slave (see Prov. 17:2).
