Commentary on Proverbs 18:22

Theological / Devotional

A good thing. Obviously, Solomon is here speaking of the ideal wife, a virtuous, prudent woman who will loyally support him in efforts to serve the Lord (chs. 12:4; 19:14; 31:10). One who has been led to unite with such a woman has indeed received a favor from the Lord. That the wise man does not regard some wives in this way is shown by his comments on the nagging, querulous wife (chs. 21: 9, 19; 25:24; 27:15).
