What would King Solomon discern if he was either praised or scorned?
King Solomon’s writings personified a Goddess
of Wisdom.. I surmised, based on this novel excerpt how he answered questions
posed by the Queen of Sheba. The novel is a contemporary story about their
Biblical meeting three thousand years ago to discuss wisdom.
“Yes. What do you think about when your people
chant out your name in praise?”
“When they praise my name, they are praising
Yahweh.”
“Solomon, your humility to your God is
commendable. What is the reasoning for humble men to give acclimation to their
God?”
“Bilqis, when a teacher instructs a pupil, a
thankful pupil will give acclamation to the teacher for the knowledge and
discernment they provided him. Yahweh sent the Goddess of Wisdom to teach us
wisdom. It is only fitting that I give acclamation to Yahweh, her teacher, if I
am praised accordingly.” For Yahweh gives wisdom, from his mouth comes
knowledge and discernment. (Proverb 2:6)
“So Solomon, what would you think of a ruler
that becomes a laughing stock to his people instead of being praised?”
“Bilqis, intellectual clarity and incisiveness
makes any man master of a situation and wins him acclaim, while confused
thinking brings him into contempt.” It is for his good sense that a man
is praised, but a muddle-headed person is a laughing stock. (Proverb 12:8)
