Ecclesiastes4:14
14 For out of prison he cometh to reign , whereas also he that is born in his kingdom becometh poor .
Into which he was cast for his Poverty and Debt.
The poor and wise Child.
Is oft-times advanced by his wisdom to the highest Power and Dignity: which was the case of Ioseph, and Mordecai, and many others.
That old King who was born of the Royal Race, and had possessed his Kingdom for a long time.
Is deprived of his Kingdom, either by the rebellion of his Subjects provoked by his folly, or by the power of some other and wiser Prince.
