Contextual Overview

10 A worthy woman who can find? For her price is far above rubies. 11 The heart of her husband trusts in her, And he shall have no lack of gain. 12 She does him good and not evil All the days of her life. 13 She seeks wool and flax, And works willingly with her hands. 14 She is like the merchant-ships; She brings her bread from far. 15 She rises also while it is yet night, And gives food to her household, And their task to her maidens. 16 She considers a field, and buys it; With the fruit of her hands she plants a vineyard. 17 She girds her loins with strength, And makes her arms strong. 18 She perceives that her merchandise is profitable: Her lamp does not go out by night. 19 She lays her hands to the distaff, And her hands hold the spindle.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Her children arise up,.... As olive plants around her table; grow up to maturity of age, and ripeness of judgment, and so capable of observing things, and doing the work here ascribed to them: or they rise up in reverence of her, and respect to her, suitable to the relation they stand in to her: or rather it signifies their readiness to show a regard unto her, and their setting about the work of commendation of her in earnest: or else their earliness in doing it; they rise in the morning, as Aben Ezra's note is; her lamp not being extinct in the night. Jarchi interprets these "children" of disciples; but they are to be understood of regenerate persons, young converts, born in Zion, and brought up by her; the children of that Jerusalem that is the mother of us all, Isaiah 54:1;

and call her blessed; bless God for her, for such a mother, and wish themselves as happy as she is; they pray for her blessedness, peace, and prosperity, as all Zion's children should, Psalms 122:6; they pronounce her blessed, as well they may, since she is blessed with all spiritual blessings in Christ; and so are all in her family that truly belong to her, her children and her servants, Psalms 84:4; see Song of Solomon 6:9;

her husband [also], and he praiseth her; that is, he is ready also to rise up and speak in her praise and commendation. Jarchi says this is the holy blessed God. Christ is the church's husband, who is her Maker;

Song of Solomon 6:9- :; he praises her for her beauty, though she owes it all to him; for her comely parts and gracefulness, which he describes with wonder; for her dress, her garments, though they are his own; for her faith, love, humility, and other graces, though they are his gifts; see Song of Solomon 1:8.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Proverbs 31:28. Her children arise up, and call her blessed

20. She considers a good education next to Divine influence; and she knows also that if she train up a child in the way he should go, when he is old he will not depart from it.

1) Her children are well bred; they rise up and pay due respect.

2) They are taught the fear of the Lord, and obedience to his testimonies; therefore they call her blessed. So they are of a decent, orderly, respectable, religious behaviour.

3) Her husband is so satisfied with her conduct towards himself, his household, his business, and their children, that he praiseth her. He shows himself sensible of her excellence, and encourages her, in her work, by the commendations he bestows.
