“He that is despised, and hath a servant, is better than he that honoureth himself, and lacketh bread.”
Hebrew word study
טוֹב
is good
ṭôwb
Taste and see. David does not say understand or agree — he says taste. Towb is goodness you experience, not just believe in. God's goodness is not a theological position. It is something you encounter when you draw near to Him.
