Again, if two lie together, then they have heat
The Targum adds, in the winter; when it is a cold season, they
warm one another by lying together. The Targum interprets it of a
man and his wife; it is true of others; see ( 1 Kings 1:1 1 Kings 1:2 ) ;
but how can one be warm [alone]?
not soon, nor easily, in time of cold weather. This is true in a
spiritual sense of persons in a Christian communion and religious
society; when they are grown cold in their love, lukewarm in
their affections, and backward and indifferent to spiritual
exercises, yet by Christian conversation may be stirred up to
love and good works: so two cold flints struck against each
other, fire comes out of them; and even two cold Christians, when
they come to talk with each other about spiritual things, and
feel one another's spirits, they presently glow in their
affections to each other, and to divine things; and especially if
Christ joins them with his presence, as he did the two disciples
going to Emmaus, then their hearts burn within them.
