Commentary on Proverbs 31:1
King Lemuel's 'prophecy' (Hebrew 'massa'—oracle) that his mother taught him. Like Agur (chapter 30), Lemuel's identity is uncertain, but his mother's wisdom is preserved in Scripture. This demonstrates God using maternal instruction to convey truth. Reformed theology values the mother's teaching role (Proverbs 1:8, 2 Timothy 1:5). Godly mothers shape children's theology and ethics. This introduction to Lemuel's mother's counsel emphasizes family as primary context for transmitting divine wisdom.
