Wesley's Notes for Job 29:21

29:20 Glory - My reputation was growing every day. Bow - My strength which is signified by a bow, #Gen 49:24 1Sam 2:4|, because in ancient times the bow and arrows were the principal instruments of war.

29:22 Dropped - As the rain, which when it comes down gently upon the earth, is most acceptable and beneficial to it.
