God and King
1
These are more proverbs of Solomon, collected by the advisers of King Hezekiah of Judah.
2
It is God’s privilege to conceal things
and the king’s privilege to discover them.
3
No one can comprehend the height of heaven, the depth of the earth,
or all that goes on in the king’s mind!
The glory of kings is to seek out God's wisdom. Solomon was considered the wisest and most glorious king, though Solomon himself said that. Politically, he might have been wise—his 1,000 wives and concubines were alliances with other kingdoms. But he wasn’t wise enough to resist being influenced by his wives to worship their gods. History also shows that Solomon wasn’t a wise father, possibly because his own father, David, wasn’t either.
This is one of the reasons I find the Bible believable—it presents us with imperfect people, flaws and all, except for Jesus.
Think about this: God’s creation is incredibly complex, and some scientists uncover its secrets. But what happens if we discover these secrets without a moral guide?
