Proverbs 29:14
A king who judges the poor with fairness—his throne will be established forever.
BSB
ASV
The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, His throne shall be established for ever.
KJV
The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, his throne shall be established for ever.
The king who judges the poor in truth, etc. And the Psalmist about Christ the king, "Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; a scepter of equity is the scepter of your kingdom" (Psalm 45).
The king that faithfully judgeth the poor,.... That truly executes justice and judgment among all his subjects, particularly the poor, who are too often neglected, because they cannot afford persons to plead their cause: such a king was Solomon; and especially the Messiah, of whom he was a type, Psa 72:1; his throne shall be established for ever; be secure to him as long as he lives, and to his posterity after; justice to all men, and mercy to the poor, are the support of a prince's throne; see Pro 20:28.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
