Gill's Notes on the Bible
For as he thinketh in his heart, so [is] he,.... He is not the man his mouth speaks or declares him to be, but what his heart thinks; which is discovered by his looks and actions, and by which he is to be judged of, and not by his words;
eat and drink, saith he to thee, but his heart [is] not with thee; he bids you eat and drink, but he does not desire you should, at least but very sparingly; it is only a mere compliment, not a hearty welcome.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Thinketh - The Hebrew verb is found here only, and probably means, âas he is all along in his heart, so is he (at last) in act.â
