“[Solomon] calls war a matter full of disorder, a matter in need of many hands. Or, he may be warning us not to rush to war inconsiderately. Behold, he says, When a decision must be taken, is it not always beneficial to have wisdom in the middle of things?”
John Chrysostom, 5th c. — COMMENTARY ON THE PROVERBS OF SOLOMON, FRAGMENT 24:6
