Geneva Bible Notes Reformed @genevanotes

A [good] name [is] rather to be chosen than great riches, [and] loving favour rather than silver and gold. (a) Which comes by well doing.

Keil & Delitzsch Lutheran @keilanddelitzsch

Pro 22:1 1 A good name has the preference above great riches; For more than silver and gold is grace. The proverb is constructed chiastically; the commencing word נבחר (cf. Pro 21:3), and the concluding word טוב, are the parallel predicates; rightly, none of the old translators have been misled to take together חן טוב, after the analogy of שׂכל טוב, Pro 3:14; Pro 13:15.
