John Trapp on Proverbs 17:2

Verſ. 2. A wiſe ſervant ſhall have rule over a Son, &c.] God hath a very gracious reſpect unto faithful ſervants, and hath promiſed them the reward of inheritance, Col. 4.24. which properly belongs to Sons. This falls out ſometimes here, as to Joſeph, Joſhuah, thoſe ſubjects that married Salomons Daughters, 1 King. 4.10, 14. but infallibly hereafter, when they ſhall come from Eaſt and Weſt to ſit down with Abraham, Iſaac and Jacob, in the Kingdome of Heaven: and to enter into their Maſters joy, but the children of the Kingdome ſhall bee caſt out, Mat. 8.11, 12.
