- 1 Kings 12:8–16
But Rehoboam rejected the advice of the elders; instead, he consulted the young men who had grown up with him and served him.
Commentary on 1 Kings 12:8–162 voices
But he forsook the counsel of the old men, which they had given him,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
The age of Rehoboam at his accession is an interesting and difficult question. According to the formal statement of the present text of 1Ki 14:21; 2Ch 12:13, he had reached the mature age of 41 years, and would therefore be unable to plead youth as an excuse for his conduct. The general narrative, however, seems to assume that he was quite a young man (compare 2Ch 13:7).

- Proverbs 1:5
let the wise listen and gain instruction, and the discerning acquire wise counsel
Commentary on Proverbs 1:51 voice
[Daniel 2:21] "And it is He who changes times and seasons, who transfers kingdoms and establishes kingdoms." Let us not marvel, therefore, whenever we see kings and empires succeed one another, for it is by the will of God that they are governed, altered, and terminated. And the cases of individuals are well known to Him who founded all things. He often permits wicked kings to arise in order that they may in their wickedness punish the wicked.
Jerome· St. Jerome, Commentary on Daniel, CHAPTER TWO, 420Patristic
- Proverbs 1:24–33
Because you refused my call, and no one took my outstretched hand,
Commentary on Proverbs 1:24–331 voice
How then is the heaven stretched forth? Wisdom stretches it forth. For it is clear that wisdom stretches it forth in the text: "Since I stretched forth words and you did not pay attention." He speaks of words being stretched forth; in this way the heaven is stretched forth.

- Proverbs 9:9
Instruct a wise man, and he will be wiser still; teach a righteous man, and he will increase his learning.
Commentary on Proverbs 9:92 voices
Give instruction to a wise man,.... In the Hebrew text it is only "give to a wise man"; give him reproof, correction, chastisement, doctrine, or instruction, be it what it will, he will be the better for it.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
Give instruction to a wise man - Literally give to the wise, and he will be wise. Whatever you give to such, they reap profit from it. They are like the bee, they extract honey from every flower.
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the Bible, 1832Evangelical
- Proverbs 11:14
For lack of guidance, a nation falls, but with many counselors comes deliverance.
Commentary on Proverbs 11:141 voice
Cassian said, 'Moses the Hermit told us, "It is good not to hide our thoughts; we ought to disclose them to discreet and devout elders; but not to those who are old merely in years, for many have found final despair instead of comfort by …

- Proverbs 24:6
Only with sound guidance should you wage war, and victory lies in a multitude of counselors.
Commentary on Proverbs 24:61 voice
For by wise counsel thou shall make thy war,.... Counsel, as well as strength, is necessary for war: kings and states, before they enter on a war, should not only well consider the justness of their cause, but should consult whether they have a sufficiency of men and money to carry it on; and should concert the wisest methods to attack the enemy, or defend themselves; and, above all, should ask counsel of God; see 2Ki 18:

- Proverbs 27:9
Oil and incense bring joy to the heart, and the sweetness of a friend is counsel to the soul.
Commentary on Proverbs 27:92 voices
Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
Ointment and perfume - Anointing the head and various parts of the body with aromatic oil is frequent in the East, and fumigating the beards of the guests at the conclusion of an entertainment is almost universal; as is also sprinkling rose-water, and water highly ordoriferous. Two of the curious vessels which are used for this purpose are now before me; they hold some quarts each, and are beautifully inlaid with silver in the form of sprigs, leaves, etc.
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the Bible, 1832Evangelical
- Matthew 19:22
When the young man heard this, he went away in sorrow, because he had great wealth.
Commentary on Matthew 19:221 voice
It follows, And when the young man had heard these words, he went away sorrowful. This is the sorrow that leads to death. And the cause of his sorrow is added, for he had great possessions, thorns, that is, and briars, which choked the holy leaven.
Jerome· Catena Aurea by Aquinas, 420Patristic
