On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

The increase of gold lowers the value of it; but the increase of grace advances its price; the more men have of that the more they value it. How much better therefore is it to get wisdom than gold!

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

God's Goodness to Solomon. 1 And Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and the L ORD his God was with him, and magnified him exceedingly.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

To reign, &c. - Give me the spirit of my father David, that Israel may not suffer by the change. The eminency of those that went before us, and the obligation that lies upon us, to keep and carry on the good work they were engaged in, should quicken our prayers for wisdom and grace, that we may do the work of God in our day, as faithful as they did in theirs.

John Wesley (NT Notes)· Explanatory Notes upon the Bible, 1765evangelical
