Explanation of 1 Kings 3:20

By Henry MacLagan

Verse 20. Until at last, when judgment is about to take place, the perverted church is elevated as if it were the true church, and declares that a dead faith is living, while the true faith is regarded as dead, those who are in charity, without the knowledge of the truth, being in a state of natural good merely.
