Wesley's Notes for Ecclesiastes 4:11

4:9 Two - Who live together in any kind of society. Because - Both have great benefit by such conjunction, whereby they support, encourage, and strengthen one another.

4:10 They - One of them. Fall - Into any mistake, or sin, or danger.

4:12 Prevail - Against either of them.

4:13 Better - More happy. Now he proceeds to another vanity, That of honour and power. Than a king - Who hath neither wisdom to govern himself, nor to receive the counsels of wiser men.
