Proverbs 31:1-7 ***

wiping out kings.
Amen!
Hahahaaaa! Do you really think Neal is a king? King Solomon, who was the
son of King David by his wife Bathsheba, had 700 wives and 300 concubines.
Before acting on the last of the proverbs, read carefully the first. "nor
your ways to wiping out kings" in no way asserts Neal is a king.
Actually the meaning of the phrase is unclear in the original and the
translations are just speculations. Another version is "Do not give
your strength to woman, your vigor to those who destroy kings."
This is one of those curious parts of the Old Testament that was
probably not actually originally Hebrew.
