A king has many assets at his deposal. Wine, land, money, power, and women of all kinds. The Lord warned of a kings needs and the requirements that a king would command on the people back in the book of Samuel saying:
"And he said, This will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you: He will take your sons... And he will appoint him captains over thousands... and will set them to ear his ground, and to reap his harvest... And he will take your daughters to be confectionaries, and to be cooks, and to be bakers. And he will take your fields... vineyards, and your oliveyards... And he will take the tenth of your seed... And he will take your menservants, and your maidservants, and your goodliest young men, and your asses... and ye shall be his servants. And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king which ye shall have chosen you; and the LORD will not hear you in that day." (1 Sam. 8:11-18 KJV)
And is this not a truer statement with Solomon, the man writing this proverb? He had all any man could ever desire, particularly many concubines (sexual partners), and yet he still was not satisfied. The point of this proverb is to show that for one it is wise for a king with this many responsibilities to be sober minded and fall astray to various vices. Yet, one vice in particular that Solomon failed in was women. He had many as already stated. But he longed for love, real love. He wrote a whole book on it called Song of Solomon, a poetry on love.
What this shows is that a wife is truly like no other women. There are plenty of fine women out there, but a woman of God is far less in number, and a women of God fit for a king who can find? Some women are not ready to marry, others are not right for you, but a women ready to be a mother, how hard it is to find with out faith.
This last and special proverb gives men a prime example of the exemplary women ready for not only a husband but for that family God willing that should come. Use this young men to guide you on your search. Young ladies use this to become women of honor in Gods eyes. Men seek the Lord and He will provide.
Lastly, think about this. There are 30 proverbs for men and one for women, who has more work to do??? Haha
Amen and be blessed in Jesus Christs name!
