1 Kings - 20:30 Meaning
“But the rest fled to Aphek, into the city; and there a wall fell upon twenty and seven thousand of the men that were left. And Benhadad fled, and came into the city, into an inner chamber.”
King James Version (KJV)

The greatest wisdom in worldly concerns is often united with the most contemptible folly in the things of God.
