Solomon
king
Act 2: A
Child divided in two
The scene is come down through the ages as one of the most
dramatic in the bible. Two women enters Solomon’s court, fight over a new born
infant. Their voices raise to the fiver pitch each claiming the baby as her
own. And the king said bring me sword and they brought a sword before the king
and the king said divide the child in two and give half to the one, half to the
other.
One
of the most extraordinary quality of Solomon’s wisdom is his ability to discern
truth form falsehood. Many are wondered by what mean is he able to do this.
He
had enormous confidence in his own gut reaction to people. He listens carefully
to their case and responded in an innovative gut kind fashion. And challenge
the women, push them to the brink expose them in terms of their emotional
profile.
Before
the women startled eyes, the baby is hefted in to the air razor sharp swords
swings back about to dealt the death blow. Solomon’s show no hind of the
emotion as he ordered the soldier to cut the child in two suddenly one of the
women lunches forward crying out for him to stop. She begged Solomon to give
the baby to the other women and spare the child’s life.
Solomon
knows that mother love is love that let go, love that rather see the child well
and save than her see personal gratification.
Then
the king responded give the first women the living boy do not kill him she is
his mother.
While
many marvelous Solomon’s ingenious solution to the case there are some who doubt
the stories varsity.
It
is wonderful stories but once again seems like it must be hatched in the
campaign headquarters of the Solomon becoming the king just as much as it could
come from an actual decision with his wisdom now legendary Solomon takes up the
reign of leadership with commanding authority. In a deft manual to expand his
power ways he enters into a diplomatic allowance with rulers throughout the
middle east.
One
of the ways that you sealed relationships with the foreign countries is through
marriage. So early on Solomon’s numbers of marriages must have been seen as
look at the great statesman like an accomplishment of this great diplomatic
king of ours.
The
bible tells us that Solomon accumulate seven hundred wives and three hundred concubines.
Many have asked are these astonishing numbers of exaggeration.
The
probability didn’t marry all those women anymore than he had all those
mountains of gold. There is no doubt whatsoever that the bible magnifies the
accomplishment of some of their royal figures even at the same time that it
criticizes them.
Criticism
of Solomon’s many affairs his also implicitly biblical accounts as his habit of
building chapels for his foreign wives so they can continue to wish Perrone
pagan gods.
It’s
a ticking bomb sooner or later it got to go off in her has to be in deepen of
Solomon. This is man who supposedly had harem consisting of a thousand women,
where are the kids.
Seemingly
unaware of his own disturbing flows Solomon embarks an ambushing building
program that will become the talk of the ancient world. By almost every
standard he seems the king at the peak his power. Yet now it is now the
Solomon’s starts to turn his grandiose plan into reality. But some scholars see
the seeds of his crushing downfall.
