In this paper I deal with the fourth, fifth and sixth verses of Ecclesiastes chapter 4, whose unclear connection has led to a variety of different interpretations. I initially show how some of the existing interpretations and translations illustrate a possible range of exegesis. I consequently analyse single words or collocations and, if necessary, track the probable development of the meaning of the mentioned word in the biblical texts. In conclusion, I also examine the context. By these means, I seek out a convincing exposition of these biblical verses.
