This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Job_42:13 He had also seven sons and three daughters.

Ver. 13. He had also seven sons and three daughters] Whose perfections sweetened the sorrow which the loss of the other had caused him.

-Sic uno avulso non deficit alter Aureus (Virg.).



Ten children he had in heaven, and ten on earth. {See Trapp on "Job_42:10"} The Lord well knew that wealth would be nothing so comfortable to Job unless he had children to leave it to, Gen_15:2. His wife therefore, returning to her duty from which she had swerved, became fruitful at an age well advanced; for we read not of any other that he had.
