Proverbs 31:2 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 31:2
The mother's threefold address—'What, my son? and what, the son of my womb? and what, the son of my vows?'—emphasizes urgency and affection. The Hebrew 'bar bitni' (son of my womb) and 'bar nedarai' (son of my vows) express deep personal investment. She had prayed for this son and dedicated him to God. This echoes Hannah dedicating Samuel (1 Samuel 1:11). Reformed theology values dedicating children to God and raising them in covenant faith. Parental vows create accountability to raise children for God's purposes.
