Verse 7. Justice. Hebrew “the just,” who appear most under a good king, being animated by his example. Bible.—Away. Chal. “till those who adore the moon be exterminated.” This idolatry pervaded almost all the east. Solomon’s reign was very peaceable, 3 Kennicott. 4:25. But this was only a feeble representation of the peace which Christ should bring. At his birth, the whole world was at peace. Angels proclaimed it to all the earth. Lu. 2:14. Isaiah 2:4. Calmet.—It is certain, that the internal peace of Solomon’s reign did not continue to the end, ( Bible.) much less till the moon should be taken away. Bert.
