This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Pro_20:8 A king that sitteth in the throne of judgment scattereth away all evil with his eyes.
Ver. 8. A king that sitteth in the throne of judgment, &c.] Kings in their own persons should sit and judge causes sometimes, to take knowledge, at least, what is done by their officers of justice: I have seen the king of Persia many times to alight from his horse, saith a late traveller, {a} only to do justice to a poor body. He punisheth theft and manslaughter so severely, that in an age a man shall hardly hear either of the one or of the other.
{a} The Preacher’s Travels, by John Cartwright.
