There was a little city, and few men within it; and there came a great king against it, and besieged it, and built great bulwarks against it:
A little city ... So Abel, which the wisdom of one woman saved from destruction by Joab, who cast up a bank against it, when the rebel Sheba was in it (2 Samuel 20:15-22).
Bulwarks - military works of besiegers.
Verse 15. A poor wise man. As to the temporal advantages of true wisdom, though it often saves others, it receives little reward from the world, which admires none except the rich and great.
No man remembered ... - (Genesis 40:23.)
