“A king that sitteth in the throne of judgment scattereth away all evil with his eyes.”
Proverbs 20:8 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 20:8
A king on the throne of judgment 'scattereth away all evil with his eyes.' The Hebrew 'zarah' (scatter/winnow) suggests separating wheat from chaff. A wise judge perceives truth and evil, rendering righteous verdicts. His penetrating gaze discerns deception. This points to Christ's perfect judgment—He 'searches hearts and minds' (Revelation 2:23). Reformed theology anticipates the final judgment when all evil is separated from good. This verse also instructs earthly judges to pursue discernment, recognizing that their office reflects God's judicial authority.
