Q4. (1 Kings 2:13-46) Why doesn’t Solomon act more quickly against David’s enemies and his own? What does this indicate about Solomon? Do you think God is pleased with Solomon’s dealing with enemies in these ways? In an absolute monarchy, what are the balance points between protection of the throne (the state), justice, and mercy?

Bonus question: Jesus commanded his disciples, “Love your enemies” as a rule by which to conduct their lives. Can it (should it) be extended to affairs of the courts or of government?
