"Happy are thy men, happy are these thy servants, that stand continually before thee, [and] that hear thy wisdom." — 1 Kings 10:8 (ASV)
Happy are your men The men of Israel, that had a king over them so wise, so great, so good:
happy are these your servants, which stand continually before you, and hear your wisdom ; who were now present, and to whom she pointed, and may respect not his nobles and courtiers only, but his menial servants, who had an opportunity of often hearing the wise sayings which dropped from his lips; and which no doubt were means of greatly improving their knowledge and understanding in things natural and divine.
