John Trapp Complete Commentary - Proverbs 20:8

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... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Proverbs 20:9

Pro 20:9 Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin? Ver. 9. Who can say, I have made my heart clean? ] That can I, saith the proud Pharisee and the Popish justiciary. Non habeo, Domine, quod mihi ignoscas: I have nothing, Lord, for thee to pardon, saith Isidore the monk. When St Paul, that had been in the third, heaven, complains of his inward impurities, Rom 7:15 and though he should have known no evil by himself, yet durst he not look to be thereby justified. 1Co 4:4... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 20:6

6. Most… proclaim… own goodness Will make known, or publish, his own kindness. The point seems to be, that there are many professors of virtue and religion; but a true man, a truly virtuous and pious man, being unobtrusive, is hard to find. The expression מי ימצא , ( mi yimtsa,) who can find? according to a Hebrew idiom, may have the force of a wish: O that I might find a faithful man. Comp. Proverbs 13:17; Proverbs 14:5; Proverbs 31:10. For the general meaning, see Psalms 116:11;... read more

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 20:8

8. A king… scattereth Searches, or winnows out. Meaning, probably, that the ruler who does his duty in his office; who acts justly, impartially, faithfully and energetically, not trusting too much to others, but as far as possible looking to the careful administration of the laws by his subordinates will scatter iniquity as with the flash of his eye. Compare Proverbs 16:10; Isaiah 11:4 where the same thing is predicated of a wise king. read more
