Commentary on Proverbs 4:5

Theological / Devotional

Get wisdom. If this is typical of the counsel David gave to his favorite son, it is not surprising that Solomon requested wisdom when given an opportunity to ask for a special blessing (1 Kings 3:5-15). These verses contain an epitome of much of the instruction in the book of Proverbs.
