The Prophecy of Solomon

The Prophecy of Solomon

Sermon on Ecclesiastes 4:13-16, 1 Kings 11:1-13

Ecclesiastes 4:13-16
Better a poor and wise youth
Than an old and foolish king who will be admonished no more.
14
For he comes out of prison to be king,
Although [a]he was born poor in his kingdom.
15
I saw all the living who walk under the sun;
They were with the second youth who stands in his place.
16
There was no end of all the people [b]over whom he was made king;
Yet those who come afterward will not rejoice in him.
Surely this also is vanity and grasping for the wind.
