Joseph Benson’s Bible Commentary

2 Chronicles 1:12

And I will give thee riches and wealth, &c. Those that make this world their end, come short of the other, and frequently of this too. But those who make the other world their end shall not only obtain that, but shall have as much as is convenient of this world in their way.
