📚 Contexto Histórico
Proverbs is part of the wisdom literature in the Bible, written primarily by King Solomon to offer practical guidance for righteous living in ancient Israel. In the historical context of the Old Testament, kings were seen as divinely appointed figures whose rule depended on upholding God's standards of justice and mercy, as instability often arose from unrighteous leadership. This verse emphasizes that personal virtues like mercy and truth were essential for a king's longevity and authority in a society where leaders were held accountable to God's moral law.
