Notice what Proverbs 31 says about the perfect wife. She handles the real estate transactions, buys and sells goods, manages the staff, works at a home business, and is a competent financial manager. Her worth is far above rubies.
Notice what Proverbs 31 says about the perfect wife.
Good point, Proverb 31 is an excellent example of God allowing the wife to handle the homes finances. It is said that Proverb 31 was written by Solomon's mother, Bathsheba. Ancient Jewish tradition identifies King Lemuel to be King Solomon.
David was in his late years when Solomon was being raised. Like all of David's many children, it was his wives who raised them. God allowed the union of David and Uriah's widow to produce the lineage that would lead to the birth of both Jesus' earthly parents, Joseph through Solomon, and Mary through his brother Nathan.
As an aside, Bathsheba: (2 Samuel 11:1-27), is one of only four women named in Matthew's genealogy of Jesus. (Matthew 1:1-6) The others being, Tamar: (Genesis 38:6-30), Rahab: (Joshua 2:1-24), and Ruth: (Ruth 1:1-4:22).
Evidently, God has a much higher opinion of a women than many Christian men do.
