Proverbs 4:1 Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.
2 For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law.
3 For I was my father’s son, tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother.
4 He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live.
As we continue we can see that the instruction from the father comes the wisdom of the father to help the children get understanding. It states here that the father gives a good doctrine not to forsake the law, which we have to realize this is Old Testament and most children were taught from the law of God’s word.Verse 3 is simply saying that Solomon was the son of David and Bathsheba. The scripture goes on to tell us that if we keep the commandments we are taught in our hearts, God’s word tells to hide His word in heart so we will not sin, we can live a long life. In some respect Proverbs is still continuing to teach on wisdom, so wisdom must be a pretty important gift we need to obtain.
