Genesis 31:1

And he heard the words of Laban' s sons - The multiplication of Jacob' s cattle, and the decrease and degeneracy of those of Laban, were sufficient to arouse the jealousy of Laban' s sons. This, with Laban' s unfair treatment, and the direction he received from God, determined him to return to his own country.

Hath he gotten all this glory - All these riches, this wealth, or property. The original word signifies both to be rich and to be heavy; and perhaps for this simple reason, that riches ever bring with them heavy weight and burden of cares and anxieties.
