Contextual Overview

1 My sonne, if thou wylt receaue my wordes, and lay vp my commaundementes within thee, 2 That thou wylt encline thine eares vnto wisdome: applye thine heart then to vnderstandyng. 3 For if thou cryest after wisdome, and cryest for knowledge: 4 If thou seekest for her as for siluer, and searchest for her as for treasures: 5 Then shalt thou vnderstand the feare of the Lorde, and finde the knowledge of God. 6 For the Lorde geueth wisdome, out of his mouth commeth knowledge and vnderstandyng. 7 He stirreth vp health for the righteous: and defendeth them that walke vprightly, 8 That they may kepe the right path: and he preserueth the way of such as do serue him with godlinesse. 9 Then shalt thou vnderstande righteousnesse, and iudgement, and equitie, yea and euery good path.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

My son,.... These are either the continuation of the words of Solomon to his son Rehoboam; or to anyone that came to him for instruction, or was within the reach of being taught by him; whom he addresses in this tender and affectionate manner, in order to gain his attention to what he was about to say: or else they are the words of Wisdom, or Christ, continued, thus bespeaking: his children and people; and giving them some very wholesome counsel and advice, backed with the most powerful and prevailing arguments;

if thou wilt receive my words; or doctrines: the doctrines of the Gospel, relating to the person, office, and grace of Christ, and salvation by him; such as the words of peace, pardon, righteousness, and life; which are to be received, not as the word of man, but as the word of God; and with all readiness of mind and willingness, as they were by the Bereans; and most gladly, as by the three thousand pricked to the heart under Peter's sermon; and as they are and will be by every sensible sinner;

and hide my commandments with thee; in the heart; so as to have a high esteem of them, and a hearty affection and value for them; retain them in memory, and frequently think of them and meditate upon them, and constantly observe them; see Psalms 119:11.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Now in the divine order comes the promise Proverbs 2:5. The conditions of its fulfillment are stated in Proverbs 2:1-4 in four sets of parallel clauses, each with some shade of distinct meaning. Thus, not “receiving” only, but “hiding” or treasuring up - not the “ear” only, but the “heart” - not the mere “cry,” but the eager “lifting up the voice.”

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER II

The teacher promises his pupil the highest advantages, if he

will follow the dictates of wisdom, 1-9.

He shall be happy in its enjoyment, 10, 11;

shall be saved from wicked men, 12-15;

and from the snares of bad women, 16-19;

be a companion of the good and upright; and be in safety in the

land, when the wicked shall be rooted out of it, 20-22.

NOTES ON CHAP. II.

Verse Proverbs 2:1. My son — Here the tutor still continues to instruct his disciple.

Hide my commandments with thee — Treasure them up in thy heart, and then act from them through the medium of thy affections. He who has the rule of his duty only in his Bible and in his head, is not likely to be a steady, consistent character; his heart is not engaged, and his obedience, in any case, can be only forced, or done from a sense of duty: it is not the obedience of a loving, dutiful child, to an affectionate father. But he who has the word of God in his heart, works from his heart; his heart goes with him in all things, and he delights to do the will of his heavenly Father, because his law is in his heart. See Proverbs 3:3.
