I believed not the words Which were told me concerning thee: they seemed incredible, and above the perfection of human nature. Thy wisdom and prosperity Hebrew, ושׂוב, vatob, and goodness, may be intended to signify either happiness or virtue. Exceeded the fame which I heard This was remarkable, for people commonly find things to fall far short of their expectations. Happy are thy men Thy subjects, especially those that are about thy person, and minister unto thee; who have an opportunity every day of hearing thy wise sayings and discourses. With much more reason may we say this of Christ's servants: Blessed are they that dwell in thy house; they will be always praising thee.
