Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity!
The word brethren here means not merely those of the same blood, but all who share the same faith, profess the same religion, and live under the same godly institutions. When such people dwell together in unity, it is a condition worthy of our closest attention and praise.

Commenting on Psalm 133:1-3
Behold it because it is rarely seen and well worth your study. Unity among brothers is both good and pleasant at once, which is remarkable: most pleasant things carry evil with them, but here the pleasure and the goodness are inseparable and equally excellent.
AI summary
Brothers living in true unity do more than merely avoid quarreling; they delight in each other and actively serve one another's welfare. This is both good in itself, conforming to God's will, and good for us, bringing constant honor and comfort to all who maintain it.
