Ecclesiastes 4:12-14

Ecclesiastes 4:12-14 NCV

An enemy might defeat one person, but two people together can defend themselves; a rope that is woven of three strings is hard to break. A poor but wise boy is better than a foolish but old king who doesn’t listen to advice. A boy became king. He had been born poor in the kingdom and had even gone to prison before becoming king.
