15 I saw that all who lived and walked under the sun followed the youth, the king's successor.
15 I considered all the living which walk under the sun, with the second child that shall stand up in his stead.
15 I saw all the living who move about under the sun, along with that
15 and I saw everyone rally to the rule of this young successor to the king.
15 I saw all the living who walk under the sun; They were with the second youth who stands in his place.
15 But then everyone rushes to the side of yet another youth who replaces him.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Ecclesiastes 4:15
Commentary on Ecclesiastes 4:13-16
(Read Ecclesiastes 4:13-16)
People are never long easy and satisfied; they are fond of changes. This is no new thing. Princes see themselves slighted by those they have studied to oblige; this is vanity and vexation of spirit. But the willing servants of the Lord Jesus, our King, rejoice in him alone, and they will love Him more and more to all eternity.
