.For God is a forgiver ofthose who have sinned.Come now, and consider, which was the greater ofthe two, the sin of his father David or the sin of his son Solomon? Davidcaused Uriah to be slain in battle by means of a plan of deceit so that hemight take his wife Brsbh.(Bathsheba), the mother of Solomon; and herepented, and God had compassion on him, And when he was dying headvised his son Solomon, saying,  Kill Joab as he killed  Amr (Abner), andkill Shimei because he cursed me ;58 and he performed the will of hisfather and slew them after the death of David his father.And Solomonkilled no one except his brother when he wished to marry theSamnwt,59 the wife of his father David whose name was  Abs58I Kings ii, 5 ff.59I.e.the  Shunammite woman (see 1 Kings i, 3).89 Kebra Nagast(Abishag).And as concerning the error of Solomon which is written down Iwill reveal it to you, even as God hath revealed it to me.66.Concerning the Prophecy of ChristNow, according to the interpretation of prophecy, the name Solomonsignifieth in the secret speech  Christ. And as Solomon built the house ofGod, so Christ raised up His Body and made it into the Church.And whenHe said unto the Jews,  Throw down this house, and in three days I willbuild it up [again], 60 He spake to them of the house of His Body.And asSolomon multiplied wives from alien peoples because of their beauty andwinsomeness, and desires [arose] in him in his feigning love [for them], soChrist gathered together from alien peoples those who had not the Law,but who believed on Him.And there was no uncircumcised man to Him,and no pagan; and there was no slave, and no Jew, and no servant and nofree man;61 but He gathered them all into His heavenly kingdom by HisFlesh and Blood.And in the Song of Songs Solomon himself sang and said, There are sixty mighty men round about the bed of Solomon, all of themtrained in war and holding swords, each man with his sword upon histhigh. 62 The number sixty indicateth the number of the righteousPatriarchs, and the Prophets, and the Apostles, and the Martyrs, and theBelievers, and the Saints, and the Monks who have resisted the evil thoughtand the war of Satan.And the word  sword is, being interpreted, theword of the Scriptures.The word of the Lord cutteth like a straight sharprazor, and in like manner the Scriptures cut from men s hearts the dangercaused by lying dreams by night.And the words  bed of Solomon are,being interpreted, the Church of Christ.60John ii, 19.61Galatians iii, 28.62Song of Solomon iii, 7 ff.90 Kebra NagastAnd again Solomon sang, saying,  King Solomon hath made a litter forhimself, 63 and these words are to be interpreted that Christ hath put onour body.The name Solomon in the language of the Hebrews is, beinginterpreted,  Christ. And the foolish Jews imagine that the words ofDavid,  The Lord said unto me,  Thou art my son and I this day havebegotten thee, 64 were spoken concerning Solomon his son. O God, giveThy judgment to the king, and Thy righteousness to the son of the king, sothat he may judge thy people with righteousness and thy needy ones withjustice.And he shall live and they shall give him of the gold of Arabia, andshall pray for him continually, and shall follow him [with good words],and he shall be a support for the whole earth on the tops of the mountains,and his fruit shall be greater than the cedar, and he shall flourish in the citylike the grass of the earth, and his name shall be blessed for ever, and hisname shall be before the sun.I have brought thee forth from the bellybefore the Morning Star.God hath sworn, and He will not repent, thou artHis priest for ever, after the appointment of Melchizedek. 65And concerning this prophecy and others like there unto, which Davidprophesied concerning Christ, the foolish Jews, who are blind of heart, saythat what David said in the beginning of his book was spoken concerninghis son Solomon; this do the Jews say, and they make Christ to be Solomonbecause of the similarity of name, and the wisdom, and because He was theSon of David in the flesh.And although those who came after David andSolomon, namely Elijah and Elisha, knew this, they ascribed Solomon s sinto him in the Book of Kings in order that they might put to shame the Jews,who are blinded in heart and the enemies of righteousness.And Solomonthe King, the son of David the King and Prophet, was himself also Kingand Prophet, and he prophesied many similitudes concerning Christ andconcerning the Church, and he wrote four books of prophecy, and is63Song of Solomon iii, 9.64Psalm ii.65Psalms lxxii, 1 ff.; cx, 4.91 Kebra Nagastnumbered with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and David his father in thekingdom of the heavens.67.Concerning the Lamentation of SolomonAnd now I will tell you how he died.His days were sixty [years], whena sickness attacked him.And his days were not as the days of David hisfather, but they were twenty [years] shorter than his, because he was underthe sway of women and worshipped idols.And the angel of death cameand smote him [in] the foot, and he wept and said,  O Lord God of Israel, Iam conquered by the terrestrial law, for there is no one free from blemishbefore Thee, O Lord, and there is no one! righteous and wise before Thee,O Lord.For Thou dost scrutinize and try the heart.Nothing is hidden fromThee.Thou lookest upon the hidden things [as if they were] revealed, andThou searchest out the heart.Have mercy upon me, Lord.Thou examinestthe heart of man and dost try the reins.Have mercy upon me, Lord.Thouhearest both the whisper and the thunderclap [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
