## Chapters 4 and 5

Introduction Chapters 1 and 2 Chapter 3 Chapters 4 and 5 Chapter 6 Chapter 7 Chapter 8 Chapter 9 Chapter 10 Chapters 11 and 12 Chapter 13 Chapters 14 to 16 Chapters 17 and 18 Chapter 19 Chapter 20 Chapter 21 Chapter 22 Conclusion | #### Solomon's glory Chapter 4 contains an enumeration of the officers who served Solomon, and upheld the glory of his throne; and then, the manner in which the whole country provided for the maintenance of his household, Judah and Israel being multiplied and full of joy The king's authority extends as far as the Euphrates. Peace reigns all around. The wisdom and understanding which God had given him surpassed all that was known in the world; so that from the ends of the earth they came to hear the wisdom of his lips. His proverbs, his songs, and his knowledge, bore testimony to the excellent spirit with which God had endowed the king His throne is established, and the glory of the son of David abounds. The Gentiles now -- the king of Tyre, emblematic of the world and its desirable things -- are at Solomon's disposal, and apply themselves joyfully to the fulfilment of the king of Israel's projects, and to his service in building the house of Jehovah. |
