Proverbs 19:6 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 19:6
Many will entreat the favor of the prince, and every man is a friend to him that gives gifts. Powerful persons attract supplicants; generous persons attract 'friends.' This verse observes how humans pursue relationships with those who can benefit them. The observation is both descriptive (this is how people behave) and prescriptive (recognize this dynamic). Those with power or resources should recognize that flattery may be mercenary; those without should examine their motives in relationships.
