The glory of young men [is] their strength: and the beauty of old men [is] the gray head.
Ver. 29. The glory of young men is their strength.] If well used in following their callings, and fighting for their countries, as those young men of the princes of the provinces did, 1Ki 20:20 and not in quarrelling and duelling, as those youngsters of Helkathhazzurim, who sheathed their swords in their fellows' bowels. 2Sa 2:16
And the beauty of old men is their gray head.] That silver crown of hoary hairs, saith one, which the finger of God doth set upon their heads, makes them venerable in all places where they come; so that they carry an authority or majesty with them, as it were. See Trapp on " Pro 16:31 "
