Commentary on Ecclesiastes 9:14
Theological / DevotionalA little city. The size of the place was insignificant; therefore its defenders, who were few, would be able to hold off attackers but briefly.
A great king. Commentators have speculated at length as to what particular city, if any, Solomon refers to. There is, however, no basis whatever for determining what city might be in the writer’s mind, or who was the “great king.” This may be a veiled allusion to some historical event.
