Proverbs 30:28 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

The spider taketh hold of the thread which she spins out of her own bowels with her hands; with her legs, which he calls hands, because they serve her for the same purpose, to do her work, to weave her web, and to catch gnats or flies, &c. Is in kings palaces; is not only in poor cottages, but many times in palaces also, where she makes a shift to keep her abode, notwithstanding all the care and pains which is taken to sweep and cleanse it.

Proverbs 30:28

28 The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings' palaces.
