<< History: At the time of the two kingdoms, Judah and Israel, each used a
 different word for "good" -
               "tov" and "na'im". The Psalmist brought these two factions
 together with the above sentence,
                implying how pleasant it is when these two (occasionally)
 warring groups of Jews 
                could find peace.
