I believe King Solomon's statement in Psalms, "A King? (Only) With justice
will he stabilize his land", succinctly summarizes this. Considering that
King Solomon was wealthy, married many wives for political purposes, and
was wise, it is important that *he* thought that it was not wealth, wisdom,
or political alliance, but justice that gives stability. His famous
judgement of the "baby and 2 prostitutes" case also concludes with the
observation that his judgement achieved respect BECAUSE OF ITS ACCURACY AND
JUSTICE. Such observations are always refreshing. Yasher Coach Michael.
