SCRIPTURE

"The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, His throne shall be established for ever." — Proverbs 29:14 (ASV)

The king that faithfully judges the poor: That truly executes justice and judgment among all his subjects, particularly the poor, who are too often neglected, because they cannot afford persons to plead their cause: such a king was Solomon; and especially the Messiah, of whom he was a type, (Psalms 72:1Psalms 72:2Psalms 72:4Psalms 72:12Psalms 72:13) ; his throne shall be established for ever; be secure to him as long as he lives, and to his posterity after; justice to all men, and mercy to the poor, are the support of a prince's throne; see (Proverbs 20:28) (25:5) .
