2 Chronicles 2:10 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

Behold, I will give thy servants twenty thousand measures of beaten wheat, &c. Solomon would not feed his workmen with bread and water, but with plenty of provisions, and of the best kind. They that employ labourers ought to take care that they be not only well paid, but well provided for, with sufficient of that which is wholesome and proper for them. Let rich masters do for their poor servants and workmen as they would be done by it the tables were turned.

2 Chronicles 2:10
