Proverbs 31:1 The words of king Lemuel, the prophecy that his mother taught him.
2 What, my son? and what, the son of my womb? and what, the son of my vows?
3 Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings.
This last chapter deals with two different people , a wise king, and an excellent wife. It first talks of the king. Kin Lemuel, who some believe to be Solomon. Lemuel means “unto God.” The three questions asked makes the person listening more attentive and indicates the serious passion of a mother’s heart. Verse 3 through 9 are filled with warnings against vices. Verses three begins by saying not to let his strength and power be overtaken by a woman. He will someday be king and must retain his power for the throne.Also having multiple wives like Solomon did destroys a king. As we go through the other verse we will see that this could not only apply to a king but also to the head of the household.
