Explanation of 1 Kings 3:9

By Henry MacLagan

Verse 9. An earnest desire therefore is enkindled in him who is in this celestial state of good, for a clear knowledge of Divine Truth, which shall rule in the church, and enable the member of it accurately to discern good and evil, which can only be done by perception from the Lord.
