Solomon’s Song is the lament of a foolish man who denied himself nothing he desired, but who failed to groom a successor to preserve his legacy. For David’s sake, the worldly kingdom continued; but the excesses and vanities of Sh’lomo cemented its downward spiral. Pride goes before the fall.

Of the worldly kingdom, which was soon to be divided, the prophet Hosea wrote: “Where is your king, that he may save you? Where are your rulers in all your towns, of whom you said, ‘Give me a king and princes’? So in my anger I gave you a king, and in my wrath I took him away.”. . .  and yet, mercy endures.
