Ecclesiastes 4:13 In-Context

11 If two lie down together, they will be warm, but a person alone will not be warm.
12 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.
13 A poor but wise boy is better than a foolish but old king who doesn't listen to advice.
14 A boy became king. He had been born poor in the kingdom and had even gone to prison before becoming king.
15 I watched all the people who live on earth follow him and make him their king.
