What Does 2 Chronicles 9:7 Mean?
The queen pronounces a blessing on those who serve in Solomon's presence. To stand continually before such a king and to drink in his wisdom day by day strikes her as a great happiness, greater perhaps than her own royal estate.
Her words gently exalt nearness over rank. To dwell close and to listen is itself a blessing. So the people of God are called happy who abide in His presence and attend to His word, finding their joy not in possessions but in proximity to wisdom itself.
