Subject: Who was Lemuel? |
Bible Note: Nolan I have always been taught that Jewish tradition held a similar view as Matthew Henry's. In fact I believe this is where Mr. Henry got it. From everything else I have read on the subject this would agree with what we know of the relationship of Solomon and his beloved mother Bathsheba. As one writer I read stated I too can almost imagine Solomon playing a game of hide and seek running through the palace as Bathsheba calls out to her little Lemuel. Be blessed and be a blessing |
