Solomon
king
Three
thousand years ago, in ancient Jerusalem, the young king Solomon was forced to
put his wisdom to an ultimate test
And
the king said bring the sword and king said divide the living child in two and
give to the one and half to the other.
According
to the Hebrew bible, Solomon would become one of the ancient Israel’s mightiest
king, gifted with power beyond those of mortal man.
He
can see into the human heart, he knows how to pose a question so that he gets a
truthful answer and this is what is source of his favored wisdom.
Under king Solomon ruled the secret arc of covenant said to contain
said to a ten commandments was brought to rest in his holy temple in Jerusalem.
Guided by Solomon’s wisdom the nation of Israel experienced an era of peace and
tranquility never before known, why then that this legendary king has such
harsh critics. The great mystery about Solomon is how somebody endowed with
such wisdom and such worldly success, yet failed morally in so deep and
profound the way as a king.
Solomon is considered by many to be Israel’s most enigmatic
ruler, how did his dual of wits with a queen of sheebas spark one of the great
love affairs in the bible. What happen to the arc of the covenant when it
disappeared from his holy temple? How could a king blessed with divine wisdom
be ultimately responsible for the destruction of his own kingdom? These about a
few of the mysteries of the bible.
