Solomon

[KazooOchestra]

Discuss:

52And Solomon said, If he will shew himself a worthy man, there shall not an hair of him fall to the earth: but if wickedness shall be found in him, he shall die.

53So king Solomon sent, and they brought him down from the altar. And he came and bowed himself to king Solomon: and Solomon said unto him, Go to thine house.

[togre]

Your reference is from 1 Kings 1:52,53 in the KJV.

It discusses the ascension of Solomon to the throne. His brother Adonijah was trying to supplant him as heir. Adonijah's plans were foiled when King David publicly installed Solomon. Adonijah knew the jig was up, feels to the temple for sanctuary and as an appeal for mercy. Solomon basically gives Adonijah a second change and in return Adonijah submits to his brother as king.


I'm uncertain as to what you desire us to discuss. Is there a specific question you have? Do you find some problem with this passage? Do you see great meaning in it? Please elaborate.
