• The young men who had grown up with him, and who stood before him (1 Kings 12:8). They could not thus be anything other than the mirror and reflection of their master’s thoughts.

He would have known what was becoming to a king; he would have known that “A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger” (Prov. 15:1); that “Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall” (Prov. 16:18), and many other precepts.
