Pseudo-Chrysostom, on Matt 1:6
Matt 1:6 · Douay-Rheims
“And Jesse begot David the king. And David the king begot Solomon, of her that had been the wife of Urias.”
On this verse:
“Solomon is interpreted ‘peacemaker,’ because having subdued all the nations round about, and made them tributary, he had a peaceful reign. Roboam is interpreted ‘by a multitude of people,’ for multitude is the mother of sedition; for where many are joined in a crime, that is commonly unpunishable. But a limit in numbers is the mistress of good order.”
