1 Kings 8:61 (KJV)

Thou and Ye

your more than one

In the King James Bible, thee, thou, thy, and thine always mean one person, and ye, you, and your more than one: a difference modern English lost. Why keep these words?

Scofield Notes

perfectThe word implies whole-heartedness for God, single-mindedness, sincerity -- not sinless perfection.

Matthew Henry

His blessing and exhortationNever was a congregation dismissed with what was more likely to affect them, and to abide with them. What Solomon asks for in this prayer, is still granted...
