This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
2Ch_10:10 And the young men that were brought up with him spake unto him, saying, Thus shalt thou answer the people that spake unto thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou [it] somewhat lighter for us; thus shalt thou say unto them, My little [finger] shall be thicker than my father’s loins.
Ver. 10. My little finger shall be thicker.] Or, Is thicker, q.d., My dignity, majesty, and might is greater than ever was my father’s. Perhaps he preferred himself before his father - as did also Henry, the eldest son of our King Henry II, who got not so much by his coronation as to have a name in the catalogue of the kings of England - because he was born of a king’s daughter, and so a better woman, in his esteem, than Bathsheba.
