NET Notes |
1 tn Heb “the favor of a king.” The noun “king” functions as a subjective genitive: “the king shows favor….” 2 sn The wise servant is shown favor, while the shameful servant is shown anger. Two Hiphil participles make the contrast: מַשְׂכִּיל (maskil, “wise”) and מֵבִישׁ (mevish, “one who acts shamefully”). The wise servant is a delight and enjoys the favor of the king because he is skillful and clever. The shameful one botches his duties; his indiscretions and incapacity expose the master to criticism (W. McKane, Proverbs [OTL], 470). 3 tn Heb “is” (so KJV, ASV). |
