1 Kings 5:6

Study

       

6 And now command that they hew me cedar-trees out of Lebanon; and my servants shall be with thy servants; and I will give thee hire for thy servants according to all that thou shalt say; for thou knowest that there is not among us any that are experienced in cutting timber like to the Zidonians.


Commentarius in hunc versum  

By Henry MacLagan

Verse 6. Wherefore there is influx from celestial good into the love of knowledges, stimulating that love to acquire internal spiritual truths meritoriously, as if from self; for internal and external truths are, in this, united by correspondence, and the lower love enjoys its legitimate satisfaction; and interior knowledges teach that celestial and spiritual good cannot perform the functions which belong properly to those in the love of exterior knowledges.
