King Solomon’s Choice Between Ruthless Anger or Jealousy

 

King Solomon as a ruler in ancient times would judge those brought before him for various matters. In this capacity as a judge he must have formed various personal opinions of those he judged. In a novel excerpt, I surmised how he explained his views about anger and jealousy to the Queen of Sheba based on his proverb. The novel is a contemporary application of a story form to promote understanding of proverbs and ancient wise sayings in relation to our modern times.

Why King Solomon Provoked a Guilty Man


King Solomon, as most rulers in ancient times, would judge over various matters brought before him. There was no trial by peers. A wise, fair, and just ruler was respected and revered when he displayed wisdom to enact justice. In the following novel excerpt, I surmised how Solomon answered the Queen of Sheba’s question why he purposely provoked a fool accused of murder, to anger and admit his guilt. The novel is a contemporary application of a story form to promote understanding of proverbs and ancient wise sayings in relation to our modern times.
