Psalms127:5
5 Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them : they shall not be ashamed , but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate .
Who hath a numerous issue; which as it is a great blessing in it self, so Solomons want of it made it more valuable in his eyes.
Such parents fear not the reproach of barrenness, which was grievous, especially among the Jews; of which see Luke 1. 25. nor any other shame from their enemies.
They shall couragiously plead their cause in Courts of Judicature, which were in the gates, Deut. 21. 19. & 25. 7. not fearing to be crushed by the might of their adversaries, as weak and helpless persons frequently are.
Marginal references: Heb. hath filled his quiver with them.; Or, shall subd[illegible: 1+ letters], as Psal. 18. 47. or destroy.
