A child therefore is rather meant childish, 1. In understanding, 1 Cor: 14.20. 2 In affection and disposition: First, cleaving to young Counsellors, 1 Kings 12.8. Secondly, soon wavering in Religion, Ephes. 4.14. Thirdly, led by sense and sensible objects, more then by depth of judgement and reason; led by passions and lusts of youth, pastimes and recreations, but careless of matters of importance. Thus Rehoboam is said to be young and tender in heart, when he was above forty one years old, 1 Kings 14.21. with 2 Chron. 13.7. And so indeed Solomon expresseth this childishness in slothfulness and remissness of government, v. 18. as by eating in the morning, he expresseth luxurious feasting, v. 19.
