| Sirach 47:15 | *Solomon reigned in days of peace, and God, brought all his enemies under him, that he might build a house in his name, and prepare a sanctuary for ever: O how wise wast thou in thy youth! 3 Kings 3:1. | Youth. When other are less informed. This serves to place the apostacy of Solomon in a more striking light. (Calmet) --- The author seems astonished both at the wisdom and at the folly of this prince, (Haydock) and apostrophises him. (Worthington) |
